Mission

At Komen San Diego, our mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our community and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. We are on the front lines of local breast health care, serving uninsured and underinsured women who cannot access breast cancer screening, diagnostics, and treatment without our help. We are saving lives, not just by funding global research but by targeting the most at-risk neighborhoods (including Latina and African American communities) in San Diego and providing local women the widest available spectrum of needed services. Susan G. Komen’s national vision - which our local efforts are integral to achieving - is to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50% by 2026.
