Who We Are
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to funds raised by events like Komen Race for the Cure®, this year we invested $170 million in research, education and health services, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Komen for the Cure in Georgia
Of the 125 Komen Affiliates worldwide, we are proud to have three strong Komen for the Cure Affiliates in Georgia. Each Affiliate holds fundraising events, administers community grants and contributes to research, participates in local education and outreach, and conducts local advocacy. The Affiliates work collaboratively on public policy and other issues.
Nationwide, the Komen Affiliate Network granted over $70 million in community grants last year alone.
In 2007, the Georgia Affiliates invested more than $2 million in local programs that provide early detection and treatment of breast cancer and breast health education and outreach. The Coastal Georgia Affiliate serves Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long and McIntosh counties.
