Promise Grant targets elusive breast cancer
Our first-ever Promise Grant, a new group of grants designed to discover and deliver the cures for breast cancer more quickly, will focus on one of the deadliest and most elusive forms of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer. Through Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, American Airlines is pledging $7.5 million over five years to fund M.D. Anderson’s Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Program and Clinic in Houston. How will this grant fund a unique team over the next five years?

Grant helps rural Hungarian women
As we continue our global commitment, we awarded a $100,000 grant to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to sustain the critical work of the Women’s Health Empowerment Program, an initiative to educate and provide breast cancer screening to women in rural Hungary. Our founder and former Ambassador to Hungary, Nancy G. Brinker, presented the grant at a ceremony with Dr. Klara Dobrev, the wife of the Prime Minister, during a discussion on the toll of breast cancer in the country.

Are you aware of your breast health?
Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? Being aware of your own breast health remains a critical step in the early detection of breast cancer and greatly improves a woman's odds of beating the disease. You should be aware of your personal risks and the benefits of lifestyle choices in terms of reducing the risk of breast cancer.
What else can you do to decrease your risk of developing breast cancer?
