About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying
sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do
everything in her power to end breast
cancer forever. In 1982 that promise
became Susan G. Komen for the Cure®,
launching the global breast cancer
movement to save lives, empower people,
ensure quality treatment for all and
energize science to find the cure.
The Houston Affiliate of Susan G.
Komen for the Cure* was established in
1990 to provide innovative breast cancer
education, screening and treatment
projects for the medically under-served
and uninsured in Southeast Texas. In the
Affiliate's 20 year history, it has granted
$7 million for research nationally and over
$22 million for community grants in Harris,
Fort Bend, Chambers, Montgomery,
Brazoria, Liberty, and Galveston counties.
The Affiliate's granting process ensures
the impartial allocation of funds to
qualified 501 c3 organizations helping
countless breast cancer survivors and
their families get the treatment and
support they need.
In 2009, the Houston Affiliate was
again ranked #1, among 122 national
Komen Affiliates for granting the most
funds to the community. Today, the
Affiliate has more than 1,500 volunteers
committed to its promise. More
information about the 2010 Komen
Houston Race for the Cure®, membership,

Professional Council and other events are
