Why Komen

OUR PURPOSE

The net proceeds raised by the Susan G. Komen 3 Day® help Susan G. Komen build a world free of breast cancer through research, community, care and action.

  • The money raised by the Susan G. Komen 3-Day has been used to save lives and make huge strides in breast cancer research.
  • The Susan G. Komen® Center for Public Policy, with its grassroots advocates in communities across the United States, works with policymakers to accelerate research, ensure access to high-quality affordable care for all patients and alleviate patient burden through robust public policies that recognize both the financial toxicity of treating breast cancer and the systemic hurdles patients must pass through to access their care.
  • Komen’s Patient Care Center is a suite of integrated services that work to ensure that no one faces breast cancer alone. The Patient Care Center programs include our Breast Care helpline, which offers psychosocial support and connections to lifesaving health services, a screening and diagnostics program, patient navigation, financial assistance, and education resources for anyone concerned about breast health. We understand that everyone’s healthcare journey is unique, which is why our programs offer individualized care focused on helping to ensure the best possible outcomes for each person.
