Komen Denver Race for the Cure

The Denver Metropolitan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded in 1994 to carry out the mission of the national organization on a local level. The Komen Foundation, headquartered in Dallas, was established in 1982 because of a promise made between two sisters — Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Before her death from breast cancer at 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to the disease. By establishing the Foundation, Nancy kept her promise. Today, the Foundation is an international organization with a network of 100,000 volunteers working through 125 local Affiliates and Komen Denver Race for the Cure events. Together with its Affiliate Network (of which Denver is a participant), corporate partners and generous donors, the Komen Foundation has raised more than $1 billion for the fight against breast cancer.
