When you are MORE
THAN PINK your support allows Komen to do more: more research, more
community outreach efforts, more care for those living with breast cancer –
especially metastatic breast cancer – and more action to help us achieve our
bold goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by
50% by 2026. That’s about 3,000 days to save
more than 20,000 lives – and you can be a part of us achieving that goal! Do
your part: be MORE THAN PINK.
