Susan G. Komen is the world's largest breast cancer organization, funding more breast cancer research than any nonprofit, and provides funds that support vital services for those who are facing the disease. Komen was founded by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her younger sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would dedicate her life to finding an end to the disease that claimed Suzy's life.
Susan G. Komen Hawaii is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front.
Our Vision - A world without breast cancer.
Our Mission - Eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease through the advancement of research, education, screening, and treatment
Where your money goes:
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. On a national level, the remaining net income supports Komen's research portfolio that funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control. Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. Breast cancer knows no boundaries - be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location. But there is hope. Thanks to heightened awareness, early detection, improved treatment methods and increased access to breast health services, people have a greater chance of survival than ever before.
Making sense of the ever-changing world of breast cancer can be very overwhelming though. The Understanding Breast Cancer section of komen.org is your one-stop resource for the latest information on breast cancer risk factors, early detection and screening, diagnosis, treatment and support. You can also find information on integrative and complementary therapies, life after treatment, quality of care and much more.
The Understanding Breast Cancer section was co-developed with Harvard Medical School faculty and Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center staff.
