Your End of Year Gift Can Make a Difference

About every 12 minutes, a woman in the U.S. will lose her life to breast cancer. When you make a gift to Susan G. Komen this December, it will be matched generously by our Board of Directors*. Your support helps ensure breast cancer patients have access to the resources they need – including research, care, advocacy and community. 

“I joined Komen’s Board to support the mission of ending breast cancer in our lifetime,” said Ed Dandridge, chair of Komen’s Board of Directors. “With proper access to health services, breast cancer is a disease that can be screened for, detected and many times, successfully treated. But for all the advances we’ve made, countless people are still dying simply because they did not have access to the care or information they needed.” 

With your support, we can fund lifesaving research and provide ongoing support and critical assistance to people with breast cancer and their loved ones. 

Ending breast cancer needs all of us.
