The Power of a Promise®
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, 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 events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Our Promise to the Women of Greater Roanoke:
The Komen Greater Roanoke Valley Affiliate will identify gaps in breast health care, reaching women in 19 counties through breast health education and mammography access. We will provide community grants in Roanoke, Botetourt, Montgomery, Bath, Alleghany, Rockbridge, Craig, Giles, Bland, Wythe, Bedford, Franklin, Pulaski, Floyd, Carroll, Grayson, Henry, Pittsylvania and Patrick counties.
