Investing


$1 = $2!
That's right, for the next six days, your donation will go twice as far towards our $50,000 goal.

Click here to donate today!
Somewhere, right now, a woman is learning that she has breast cancer. Every three minutes a woman is diagnosed and every 13 minutes a woman dies from the disease. Think about that: 1 woman every 3 minutes.
Unfortunately, cancer patients face many obstacles to getting the potentially life-saving care they need. At the same time, budget-strapped governments have put critical safety-net cancer programs at risk. We need your help to change all this.
And now, you have the opportunity to make double the impact.
If you invest in change today with a donation towards our advocacy efforts, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
That's right – an extraordinary donor has offered to match every cent you give, up to $50,000 in matched donations, which means:
If you give $50, we'll get $100 that could pay for phone calls to Congress asking legislators to support key cancer priorities.
If you give $75, we'll get $150 that could subsidize an ad to get the word out about an important issue like health care reform, or build a groundswell of support for greater investment in cancer research and treatment services.
If you give $100, we'll get $200 that could put a volunteer on the ground to deliver, in person, the cancer priorities YOU want Congress to address.
In order to maximize this opportunity, our goal is to raise $50,000 by August 2, which will provide a $100,000 foundation for us to build upon. Together we can get there. Together we can make a real impact. Click here to donate today!
This is an important moment. Congress is currently debating health care reform, which will have a significant effect on breast cancer patients and survivors. Our voice must be heard to ensure Congress considers cancer in its deliberations.
That's why the Komen Advocacy Alliance is launching a grassroots campaign to ensure policymakers on Capitol Hill and across the country are committed to ensuring all Americans have access to affordable and high quality health care.
We're asking Congress to support early detection services that will expand access to cancer care for underserved populations, help limit out-of-pocket costs for cancer patients, and ensure access to high-quality insurance for all – even those with a "pre-existing" condition like cancer.
Please help support our work on this, and other, cancer priorities – and remember, this special matching gift opportunity to double your donation ends on August 2!
Thank you for all that you do. Together we can one day end the suffering and death caused by cancer.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Nancy G. BrinkerFounding Chair, Susan G. Komen for the Cure®Board Chair, Komen Advocacy Alliance
