At Susan G. Komen for the Cure, making a world without breast cancer a reality is our single-minded mission.
As part of the world’s largest breast cancer

organization, the Philadelphia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure embraces hundreds of thousands of people in our community in the Komen vision to end breast cancer forever… empowering people… ensuring quality care for all… and energizing science to find the cures.
The Komen Philadelphia Affiliate is driven by a family philosophy. We are rooted in the promise between two sisters—Susan G. Komen and Nancy G. Brinker—and we pledge to be sisters to all the people we serve.
We will educate so all may find power from our experiences.
We will protect with a dedication to improve treatment and invest in a cure.
We will care for those less fortunate, helping to assure quality care for all.
We will support as a beacon of light along each breast cancer journey.
We will innovate, stopping at nothing and leaving no one behind until everyone shares not just the vision—but the reality of life without breast cancer.
