5,000 in one day, providing the opportunity to reach families,
decision-makers, and consumers.
How You Make a Difference
Since its inception 26 years ago, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has become
one of the most respected and recognized leaders in the fight against
breast cancer. Worth Magazine has named Susan G. Komen for the Cure one of
America’s 100 Best Charities.
The annual Shreveport-Bossier Komen Race For the Cure® is the
Shreveport-Bossier Affiliate’s signature event and main fundraiser.
Up to 75% of the money raised through the Race and other Affiliate events
remains in northwest Louisiana. The Komen Shreveport-Bossier Affiliate has
awarded more than $1,009,995 in grants to local organizations to fund breast
cancer education and screening. Thousands of women and men are receiving
the life saving message of early detection through Komen outreach efforts.
In addition, the Komen Shreveport-Bossier Affiliate has awarded over
$240,000 to the Komen Foundation Award and Research Program. In keeping
with the Komen Foundation requirements, the Affiliate has kept its
administrative costs below twenty-five percent of the money raised. No
local money goes toward national administrative and operating expenses.
