end breast cancer now...
PROMISE:
to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
At Susan G. Komen for the Cure we know that ending breast cancer is about more than curing a medical condition - it's about overcoming the cultural, social and financial conditions that prevent women from receiving life-saving breast health care and treatment.
About us
The Los Angeles County Affiliate raises funds to support local breast cancer services and national breast cancer research programs. A major focus is to help women who have symptoms of breast cancer but cannot afford diagnostic work or treatment - either because they do not have health insurance or because their insurance company will not pay. Of all breast cancer foundations, Komen is the only organization where 75% of the net proceeds stay in the communities where they are raised.
Donate Now!
Together we have made tremendous progress toward eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease through research, education, screening and treatment. The generosity of our donors is vital as we continue our efforts to help breast cancer patients today, as well as to invest in the health of future generations.
