The Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
Research Component
The Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is the nation’s largest non - profit organization that raises money for breast cancer research, educations, treatment, screening, and community outreach programs. The foundation holds 3 day walks for a cure around the country. The participant must raise $2,300, and pay a fee to participate in the 60 mile walk for a cure. Most of the runners have a special reason for participating in the race; some do it because they have cancer, they lost loved ones to the disease, and because they themselves were cured. The Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation report only the net proceeds they receive from breast cancer walking events, this way it improves the apparent fundraising efficiency. They made close to 2 billion dollars a year from the walks the foundation uses seventy- five percent to help support national research, and the remaining twenty-five percent supports local communities. They are already planning next year’s 3 day walk for a cure fundraiser.
The Great American Smoke out is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. This 37th annual event encourages smokers to make plains to quit smoking for the day or to take the first step to stopping permanently. You will see news and magazine advertisement as well as posters reminding you of this year’s event. Last year there was an estimated 43.8 million smokers in America. The annual event is an attempt to let smokers know the risk of smoking and by quitting they can improve their health by reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. They also want you to know that you could save hundreds of dollars a year by quitting. A recent survey is showing that smokers are finding that there are less areas that they can smoke in, and the price of cigarettes are on a steady increase. Due to this survey most Americas have cut back to less than a pack a day. To help Americans stop smoking most insurances offer some type of help with the medication
