ABOUT SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE®

Suzy and NancySusan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested nearly $1.5 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

ABOUT THE NORTH FLORIDA AFFILIATE

In 1994, the first ever North Florida Race for the Cure was held in Jacksonville Beach. After a successful event, an affiliate was created in an effort to continue to raise money for local breast health programs. The North Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® was formed in 1995, with 11 men and women serving on the board. The North Florida Affiliate covers Duval, Nassau, St. Johns, Baker and Clay Counties.

Today the North Florida Affiliate continues to carry out our promise of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing the science to find the cures. We work toward this promise through the hard work of our employees, board members and volunteers.
