Southern Nevada Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1.9 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® and the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

The Southern Nevada Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front. Up to 75 percent of the Affiliate’s net income goes toward funding grants to local hospitals and community organizations that provide breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs for medically underserved women. The remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the national Komen Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.

The Komen Southern Nevada Affiliate service area covers all of Clark, Nye, Lincoln, Esmeralda, White Pine, and Mineral counties.  Thanks to the thousands of people who participant in the Susan G. Komen Southern Nevada Race for the Cure® and other Affiliate events each year, dedicated corporate partners and generous donors, Komen Southern Nevada is playing a vital role in fighting breast cancer in our community
