Change the System. Be the Solution.

General Info

In 1995, a group of passionate, committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine. They acted by founding the San Diego Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Since its inception in 1995, Komen San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $9 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics, treatment, education, screening and patient support. Through events and donations, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fight against breast cancer. Each year the Komen Race for the Cure, 5k, and the Breast Cancer 3Day, raise significant funds and awareness for breast cancer, celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease.

With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year, strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure. Each year, 75 percent of our proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations. Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education, screening or treatment to residents in the San Diego area. The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and international level. Since the San Diego Affiliate's inception in 1995, nearly $9 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education, screening, diagnostics, treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County.

You can be the difference. You can help end breast cancer forever. The Komen Champions for the Cure advocacy program is focused on education Congress, federal officials, state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement. Komen Champions for the Cure was inspired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fight. From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care, Komen Champions for the Cure aims to influence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by contacting Members of Congress. By challenging candidates and those in public office to make breast cancer a priority, you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer.
