About Us
The Greater Roanoke Valley Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front. Up to 75 percent of the Affiliate’s net income goes toward funding grants to local hospitals and community organizations that provide breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs for medically underserved women. The remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the national Komen Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.
The Greater Roanoke Valley Komen Affiliate’s services area covers nineteen counties in the Western part of Virginia. Thanks to the thousands of people who will participate in the Greater Roanoke Valley Race for the Cure and other Komen Roanoke Affiliate events each year, dedicated corporate partners and generous donors, Komen Roanoke is playing a vital role in fighting breast cancer in our community.
