Mission

Susan G. Komen for the Cure was introduced to Louisville in 1996, when the Junior League hosted the first Komen Race for the Cure®. Just three years later, in 1999, our local Affiliate was founded. The debut of the Pink Tie Ball was made in 2005, establishing our second annual fundraising event. Komen Louisville is proud to have contributed nearly $5 million to the community for breast health education, screening, and treatment programs; and over $1.7 million to breast cancer research.

Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, donors and sponsors, Komen Louisville is playing a vital role in fighting breast cancer in Kentuckiana!
