Mission Statement
The mission of Susan G. Komen Quad Cities is to provide funding for breast health services, breast cancer education and outreach in our eight-county, bi-state region. Through events like the Komen Quad Cities Race for the Cure, Komen Quad Cities invests 75 percent of the funds raised to support vital local breast health services, and dedicates the remaining 25 percent to national research to find the cures.
Description
At Susan G. Komen, our mission is pretty simple: to save lives and end breast cancer forever. How we do it...well, that’s a bit more complex. We educate, support research, offer grants that provide financial and emotional assistance and advocate for better breast cancer policy. But in a broader sense, we empower others, ensure quality care for all, and invest in science to find the cures.
