Our Promise

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

No person with breast cancer should be forced to spend more time fighting their way through the health care system than fighting the disease.

A simple promise made between two sisters formulated our guiding principles:

  • We believe in the power of the individual-recognizing the extreme value of one and the dynamic force of many.
  • We honor volunteerism and foster the spirit to serve the lives that we touch.
  • We nurture an environment where people are valued and treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
  • We are committed to being a positive agent of change-demonstrating compassion and integrity in all that we do.
  • We believe that distinguished financial performance is a must, not as en end in itself, but as a means to accomplish our broader mission.
