The economics of breast cancer
In an effort to determine the effect we have had on the U.S. economy, we commissioned an economic impact study. The study found that in 2007 more than $779 million in total business impact was generated through the
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure series®, our cause related marketing programs generated more than $384 million in economic impact and approximately 4,500 people were saved through Komen funded research, adding more than $296 million to the U.S. economy! You can help us continue making a big impact.

Knowing that alarming statistic, we recently we took part in the launch of the National Breast Cancer Initiative in the Bahamas. See how we will help change the status quo.
