Description
Credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer, The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation and its powerful network of volunteers continue to lead the fight against the disease. Established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36, the Foundation's mission is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Volunteers work to further this mission in over 90 communities across the country.
In addition to funding major national research initiatives, the Foundation delivers the life-saving message of early detection to hundreds of thousands of women and men, and funds education, screening and treatment projects for the medically undeserved in communities from coast to coast.
The Komen Foundation has a toll-free Helpline (1-800-I'M AWARE ® ) answered by trained, caring volunteers who provide timely and accurate information to callers with breast health and breast cancer concerns. In addition, the Foundation's national web site (www.komen.org) has a comprehensive section with up-to-the-minute information and activities.
