Why We Walk

The MORE THAN PINK Walk is Komen’s signature fundraising event. It’s a day where we can put aside everything else in our lives and share our stories, our laughter, and our tears to raise money that saves lives. While we may not be able to meet in-person, arms linked, side-by-side, we can still come together virtually to celebrate survivors those living with breast cancer, and honor loved ones lost.

I couldn’t save or help my sister Fawn, so in an effort to save others and keep her legacy alive, it is important to me to move forward and help other people.

More we've accomplished together

• To date, Susan G. Komen supporters like you have helped raise more than $2 billion to help fund research, education, screening and treatment
• 56% of Komen’s research funding goes toward more effective treatments for those living with metastatic breast cancer
• In the last 12 years, Susan G. Komen has invested an average of 80 cents or more of every dollar raised to mission programs, such as research, local access to care and screening services, financial assistance, and support programs

Our event is evolving

What started as one Race for the Cure event is now the world’s largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer.

Our new breast cancer walk format means we can focus on sharing our passion exchanging our stories and connecting with others—all while fundraising to reach our goal of a world without breast cancer.
