In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. That promise became the Susan G. Komen organization and the beginning of a global movement. What was started with $200 and a shoebox full of potential donor names has now grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer. Komen Greater New York City has funded $35,657,026 to provide life-saving services to local women and men, while contributing $15,890,685 to national research to find the cures. Komen efforts have helped reduce breast cancer deaths by 38 percent between 1989-2014. Thanks to you, we ARE creating more survivors. www.komennyc.org
