School donations to the Change for the Cure program help make good on the Komen promise to end breast cancer forever by saving lives, empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

Breast cancer is the leading health concern among American women.   In fact, 1 in 8 U.S. women will be diagnosed in her lifetime.  Our greatest weapon in this fight is early detection.  When caught before it spreads beyond the breast, this cancer has a 98% chance of survival of 5 years.  

The Change for the Cure program has two goals: 

•Raise awareness about the importance of early detection and inform North Texans about the resources paid for by Komen North Texas
•Fundraise for investment in breast health education, screening, treatment and research

Of the funds each school raises, 75% will be invested in local programs and 25% in scientific research.  Learn more about where the money goes.

A special thank you also to Sparkletts for providing the donation collection receptacles!
