SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE®
Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is the world’s largest advocate for breast health and has
invested more than $1.9 billion in finding the cures since its beginning in 1982. Every
major advancement in breast cancer research has been funded in part by Komen
dollars, including the understanding that there is more than one type of breast cancer.
Several research grants are currently being conducted here in Indiana at Indiana
University and Purdue University. One groundbreaking study at IU Simon Cancer
Center has implications for treatment of other types of cancer.
CENTRAL INDIANA AFFILIATE OF SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE®
Komen Central Indiana is one of 124 affiliates and contributes 25% of its revenue
to fund breast cancer research on the causes, improved treatments and cures
for breast cancer. The remaining 75% stays local in our 21-county service area
to provide grants for breast health programs. These programs help ensure that
women in Central Indiana are getting the screenings, treatment assistance and
survivor support they need.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is to save lives and end
breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care
for all and energizing science to find the cures.
OUR VISION
A world without breast cancer.

CENTRAL INDIANA RACE FOR THE CURE®
The Komen Central Indiana Race for the Cure is the largest single-day fundraising
event in Indiana and one of the largest Komen Races in the world. In 2012, more
than 27,000 Race participants, 500 volunteers and more than 100 corporations
came together to raise $2 million to help end breast cancer by funding research,
education and early detection services.
The 22nd annual Race will take place Saturday, April 20th 2013 at Military Park in
downtown Indianapolis. This event features a competitive 5K run/walk, a noncompetitive 5K, a one-mile family walk, Survivor Parade, Survivor Village and Kids
for the Cure activity station. The Race raises more than 80% of our affiliate’s annual
revenue, so we always appreciate your help with recruiting participants and raising
funds beyond registration fees!
To see the impact your support and donations make in the lives of Central Indiana
women and their families, you can visit us on our website for some personal stories.
