ABOUT US

Born in a promise between two sisters -- Nancy Brinker to her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36 our vow to end breast cancer forever has become the promise of millions. 

Since launching the breast cancer movement more than 25 years ago, we’ve transformed the culture how the world talks about and treats this devastating disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors.

Today, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists the only grassroots organization fighting to cure breast cancer at every stage, from the causes to the cures and the pain and anxiety of every moment in between.

The Komen Central and South Jersey affiliate is committed to increasing screening mammography in order to save lives through early breast cancer detection.  Twenty-five percent of the affiliate proceeds support innovative national breast cancer research programs while the remaining 75% supports local programs.  Serving 13 counties in New Jersey - Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem, and Somerset - the affiliate will reach 100,000 women in 2000 with breast cancer education and screening programs.

Community Profile: 

It is critical for each Komen Affiliate to understand the unique issues regarding breast health and services within their service area in order to carry out Komen’s promise in a strategic, targeted, and effective manner and to have the greatest impact at the local level. This needs assessment, conducted every two years by the Affiliate, presents current breast cancer and demographic statistics, a review of assets and gaps in breast health programs and services, and the results of exploratory research undertaken with those who live and work in the communities the Central and South Jersey Affiliate serves. Based on this data, key priorities for the Affiliate were identified and an action plan to address these priorities was established.
