Mission

Komen Greater NYC exists to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. We provide breast health education, screening, treatment, and other services to individuals in New York City, on Long Island, and in Westchester and Rockland Counties. Komen Greater NYC has raised over $50 million since its founding in 1990. 75% of net monies raised supports local breast health education, screening and treatment programs; 25% funds national peer-reviewed research to find the cures.
