About Us

Who We Are

The North Texas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded in 1991. With the support of our signature fundraiser, the Komen North Texas Race for the Cure® this year we will grant over $800,000 dollars toward the fight against breast cancer by funding grassroots education, screening and treatment programs as well as national research.

Up to Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds raised by the Affiliate is dedicated to fighting breast cancer locally in Collin, Denton and Grayson counties.

Our Promise

To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

The Komen Foundation is a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

Today, we celebrate the power of a promise and how the vision of one can make a difference in the lives of millions.

About Komen

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched a global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.

Working through a network of U.S. and international affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, the Organization is fighting to end breast cancer forever by funding research grants, and supporting education, screening and treatment projects in communities around the world.
