> About Us Susan G. Komen - Central Mississippi Steel Magnolias Affiliate

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. Today, the Foundation is an international organization with a network of volunteers working through local affiliates and Komen Race for the Cure events to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening, and treatment. The Foundation runs one of the most innovative, responsive grant programs in breast cancer today. In addition to research, the Foundation and its Affiliates fund community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved. All of these efforts support the mission of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
