Who We Are

Susan G. Komen was started in 1982 by Nancy Brinker when she promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. That promise became the largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activisits today.

Our Promise

To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

Komen South Dakota

We have given over $1 million back to the state of SD since 2005 to provide funding for mammograms, clinical breast exams and diagnostic services. Additionally, SD has received over $1 million from Komen nationally to fund research at our local universities and hospitals.
