About Us

We’ve changed our name to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and we’ve created a brand new website to match. At Komen NC Triangle, we’re excited for the change, and the momentum it gives us to better serve the breast health needs of our local community. Take a look around the site to learn more about breast cancer and our year round efforts to help discover and deliver the cures, and feel free to share your ideas for additional content that might benefit our community.

You can read all of the details of the Komen story, both nationally and locally, by clicking the links to the left. Here are a few important things for you to know:

• Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been named a top-rated charity by Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent evaluator of charities. Charity Navigator’s award of a maximum four stars indicates that we excel, as compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing our organizational finances in an efficient and effective manner. This is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year.
• Susan G. Komen for the Cure was named one of America’s 100 Best Charities by Worth Magazine. The magazine credited Komen for the Cure as the creator of the “now famous and widely imitated Race for the Cure®”.
• To date, Komen for the Cure has invested $1 billion in research, education and health services. And because so many millions of people are counting on us to fulfill our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures, we will invest an additional $1 billion over the next decade to do just that.
