A brand to trust — We are honored that Susan G. Komen for the Cure® ranked number one in a recent Harris Interactive poll as the most valued non-profit brand and the charity people are most likely to donate money to. Additionally, Komen for the Cure ranked second on the 2010 list of the nation’s most trusted charities. Thank you to all who help us daily in the fight to end breast cancer!
Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world's largest breast cancer organization, awarded more than $100 million in research grants last year, representing the largest single-year investment in research in the organization's 26-year history and a 30 percent increase over the previous year’s award total of $77 million. The 2008 grants slate moves Komen for the Cure closer to accomplishing its goal of investing another $2 billion in breast cancer research and community health programs by 2017.
Determined to save lives and end breast cancer forever, the Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has awarded grants totaling $6,872,791 since our inception in 1993 through September 2011 (see below for the full list). These grants were awarded to programs providing breast cancer services right here in the Midsouth.
Our Grants Committee is hard at work right now determining the best use of your dollars. Our goal is to provide screening, mammograms, diagnostics and education in our community.
