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.
