Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation - Lowcountry Affiliate : Charleston, South Carolina
Description
For more than 20 years, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs. Working through a network of U.S. and international Affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, the Komen Foundation is fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by funding research grants and supporting education, screening and treatment projects in communities around the world.
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded on a promise made between two sisters - Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in Suzy's memory.
The Lowcountry Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation Breast Cancer Foundation, is an independent, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization devoted to advancing the mission of the national Komen Foundation by supporting local education, screening and treatment programs, while also continuing to invest in national research initiatives. Seventy-five percent of the money we raise locally is re-invested in local projects and initiatives within our 12-county service area.
