The Susan G. Komen Foundation is dedicated to the elimination of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and accounts for 25% of all cancers. The foundation operates around the world through research, community outreach, and advocacy.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation began in 1982, in honor of Nancy G. Brinker's sister who died from breast cancer. To date it is the largest source of non-profit funding for awareness of and research about breast cancer. You can find out more on their website and donate here.
