About Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Komen South Central Wisconsin Affiliate
Nancy Goodman Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan Goodman Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever, and in 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen. The South Central Wisconsin Affiliate is part of the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting breast cancer. Through events like the Komen South Central Wisconsin Race for the Cure, the SCWI Affiliate has invested $6.1 million in community breast cancer programs, meeting the most critical needs in an 8-county service area: Dane, Rock, Sauk, Dodge, Iowa, Columbia, Green and Jefferson. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate stays in South Central Wisconsin. The remaining 25 percent funds national breast cancer research, including breast cancer research at the UW Madison.
