About Us

Our Mission Statement

The mission of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.

Our Core Values

Our guiding principles were born from a simple promise made between two sisters…

• We believe in the power of the individual – recognizing the extreme value of one and the dynamic force of many.
• We honor voluntarism and foster the spirit to serve by the lives that we touch.
• We nurture an environment where people are valued and treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
• We are committed to being a positive agent of change – demonstrating compassion and integrity in all that we do.
• We believe that distinguished financial performance is a must, not as an end in itself, but as a means to accomplish our broader mission.
