Susan G. Komen

In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization and the beginning of a global movement. What was started with $200 and a shoebox full of potential donor names has now grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer. To date, we’ve invested more than $2.9 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. Our efforts helped reduce deaths from breast cancer by 40 percent between 1989-2016 and we won’t stop until our promise is fulfilled.

At Susan G. Komen, we know that every employee plays a role in furthering our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever. That's why we've worked so hard to create a workplace that attracts and retains a diverse group of passionate, committed and talented individuals. For us, it's not just about making a living. It's about making a difference.
