Susan G. Komen

San Diego

It started with a simple promise made between two sisters. It ends when that promise is fulfilled. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is fighting every minute of every day to finally, once and for all, finish what we started and achieve our vision of a world without breast cancer.

That’s what Susan G. Komen for the Cure is all about. The San Diego Affiliate – along with 125 other affiliates across the country and world – is a fund and awareness raising organization committed to finding a cure for this disease.

Our annual Komen San Diego Race for the Cure® is the most successful yearly fundraiser for the Affiliate. Be a part of the Cure! Take part in the 12th Annual Komen San Diego Race for the Cure ® on Sunday, November 2, 2008!

komen More and more men and women are surviving the disease thanks to earlier detection. However, one person dying is one too many and we will not rest until breast cancer is eradicated.

Will Our Next President Help End Breast Cancer Forever?

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance is leading the I Vote for the Cure™ campaign (www.ivoteforthecure.org) to urge candidates to make breast cancer a priority by developing specific policies for increasing funding for breast cancer research and improving access to screening and treatment for all Americans.
