The Susan G Komen Foundation has been active since 1982.  That is 43 years of fighting breast cancer by supporting research, providing financial assistance to breast cancer patients, and educating through community health programs.  Here are five good things to know about the Komen Foundation.

\* It is the largest nonprofit fund raiser for breast cancer research outside of the US government!

\* It is active in 60 plus countries around the world!

\* The Race for the Cure is the world's largest funding event supporting breast cancer research!

\* In 2016 over 1.6 million people participated in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure!

\* The 2025 Komen Triangle Race for the Cure is Saturday, May 3 at Boxyard RTP, 900 Park Office Dr. Research Triangle Park!

Hope to see you there!!
