The Promise

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Promise: to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science the find the cures.

The Susan G. Komen
Race for the Cure® Story

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® and launched a global breast cancer movement. Today Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cure.

The Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® -- along with those who generously support us with their talent, time and resources – is working to better the lives of people facing breast cancer throughout our 24 county service area. Through events like the Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure, we will be distributing more than $778,269 in the 2009-2010 fiscal year toward our mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Approximately $569,200 of the total monies raised will be used for local breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs for the underserved in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. The remaining funds will be awarded to the National Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants program and be directed solely to fund research at the National level. Join us in our fight against breast cancer by calling 419-724-CURE (2873).
Northwest Ohio Affiliate History

Toledo’s first Race for the Cure was held in 1994 with 600 participants and led to the inception of the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in 1999. Today, our Affiliate’s Race for the Cure has grown to include more than 17,000 participants and raises more than $800,000 annually. Additionally, the Komen Northwest Ohio Affiliate raises significant money through third-party events, Affiliate sponsored events, and personal contributions. Up to 75% of net proceeds generated by the Komen Northwest Affiliate stay in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. These funds are distributed through grants made to organizations that deliver treatment, services and education throughout the Affiliate’s service area. The remaining 25% goes to the National Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program for energizing science to find the cures. All the money sent to the National organization is designated for research. Affiliate support is never used to support operations expenses at the National level.
