One in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast
cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women living in the United
States. It is only through the generous support of our donors, sponsors, and
volunteers that we are able to make great strides in the fight against breast
cancer.
Approximately 75 percent of the Puget Sound Affiliate's net income remains
in the local community to fund educational outreach, screening and treatment
programs for underserved women in our community. To learn more about how the
Puget Sound Affiliate's funds are used, please click
here to read about our grants. Remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent)
supports the Komen Foundation Award and Research Grant Program, which funds
groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and
scientific programs around the world.
The generosity of our donors is essential
as we continue our efforts to help breast
cancer patients today, as well as to invest
in the health of future generations. As
a supporter, will receive a copy of our
newsletter "Komen
Connection" and a Komen Seattle Race for the Cure brochure.
We deeply appreciate all gifts regardless of size.
