Our Vision is a World
without Breast Cancer
Southwest Florida Affiliate
SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA was established in November of 2002 as a 501(c)(3) corporation. The Affiliate is charged with the purpose of furthering the Komen promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures, in Collier and Lee Counties. 75 percent of the net proceeds raised by the Affiliate will remain at the local level to fund a variety of community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically under served. A minimum of 25 percent of net proceeds will support the Komen Foundation Award and Research Grant Program.
Since our inception we have raised over 2.1 million dollars in the fight against breast cancer, awarded grants over $986,000 in community outreach programs, contributed over $449,000 to National for ground-breaking research and provided over $50,000 in educational materials to the community.
Please visit our Grants tab to read more about our granting process and our wonderful community outreach partners.
