Get Involved as an Advocate
Being an advocate for breast cancer awareness and research funding is one of the best ways you can make a difference.
Only through government action can we make the broad, systemic and lasting change we need to help us achieve our goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. By mobilizing our communities to take action, we can ensure the voice and needs of those with breast cancer and their loved ones are heard by policymakers and government regulators.
Engage Your Employees
When your organization partners with Komen, you’ll have access to trusted, accurate, timely breast cancer information to share with staff, and exciting team-building programs that are simple to implement. Plus, the Komen team will be ready to support, step-by-step, as you launch a corporate health and wellness campaign or employee engagement program.
Worship in Pink
Worship in Pink, a volunteer-driven educational program, is a unique way to engage your faith-based community in the fight against breast cancer. Ambassadors are trained to lead activities to promote the importance of taking control of your breast health and accessing resources and support services from Komen’s Patient Care Center.
Ending breast cancer needs all of us.
From serving as a local brand ambassador and raising critical funds for our mission programs to helping breathe life into our signature fundraising events like the Race for the Cure and BigWig celebrations, as well as educational events like the Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) conference and Advocacy Summit, we have unique volunteer opportunities for everyone who wants to help us create lasting change in the lives of those facing a breast cancer diagnosis.
Find a volunteer opportunity that suits your skills and interests, and join our passionate fight against breast cancer.
