About Champions for the Cure
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.
