Komen Champions for the Cure™ is a grassroots advocacy program that educates Congress, federal officials, state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement. Komen Champions for the Cure™ was inspired by the dynamic force of Komen volunteers who advance the mission in over 15,000 communities across the U.S. Komen Affiliates are uniquely suited to educate decision makers about breast cancer issues through their firsthand experience of local needs that impact real people—policy maker’s constituents.

Through Komen Champions for the Cure™, we use the power of activism to achieve important legislative objectives at federal, state and local levels. We work to cultivate and maintain strong relationships with decision-makers and community leaders, encouraging their active engagement in the breast cancer movement.

Take a moment to join Champions for the Cure™ and receive e-mails about important issues regarding breast cancer that come before Congress. It is amazingly fast and easy. You can make a difference with a few clicks of your mouse.

Komen for the Cure is getting loud about intensifying the breast cancer movement and we’re rallying to make breast cancer a national priority. We're working to “Close the Gap” in funding that keeps thousands of women from receiving lifesaving breast cancer care and to provide all women--regardless of race, nationality or socioeconomic status--an equal opportunity to beat a breast cancer diagnosis.
 
Will Our Next President Help End Breast Cancer Forever?
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance is leading the I Vote for the Cure™ campaign to urge candidates to make breast cancer a priority by developing specific policies for increasing funding for breast cancer research and improving access to screening and treatment for all Americans. To date, tens of thousands have signed a petition asking all candidates to work towards ending breast cancer forever.

America's next president could save lives-but only if you ask
By taking a moment to sign the I Vote for the Cure™ petition, which outlines three critical goals in the fight to end breast cancer, you can let our next leader know that you expect him or her to make breast cancer a national priority-in their platforms and for our country.
