Komen for the Cure promises to save lives and end breast cancer forever and we want to help them get there."

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 40-59, and the most prominent cancer among all American women. This year, an estimated 215,990 women and 1,450 men in the U.S. alone will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and it is estimated that 40,410 women and 460 men will die from breast cancer this year. 

Since its inception in 1982, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested more than $1 billion in the breast cancer movement. The organization is working towards saving lives, empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cure to fight breast cancer.Â
