2012 - 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
WELCOME
Friends,
Since 1994, we have dedicated ourselves to the Susan
G. Komen promise to save lives and end breast cancer
forever. This year, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of
the Cleveland Race for the Cure and the 2nd annual Akron
Race for the Cure, we remain as passionate as ever about
that promise.
For nearly two decades, Komen Northeast Ohio has been
ensuring that women and men in our local service area
have access to the education, screening, treatment, and
support that they need. From urban centers to rural
communities, Komen Northeast Ohio works to close gaps in
the health care system.
Grants awarded to local organizations address unmet
breast health needs so that everyone—regardless of
income, language, culture, or geography—has access to
quality care. Throughout our history, we have provided
over $13 million in grants to more than 50 organizations
throughout Northeast Ohio. In 2013, we will provide over
$900,000 to organizations that serve all 22 counties in our
service area.
Funding research is vital to our promise to end breast
cancer forever. In addition to local grants, we have invested
more than $5 million in the Susan G. Komen National
Research and Scientific Awards Program over the years. We
will invest nearly $300,000 this year alone.
When Susan G. Komen was founded, the 5-year survival
rate for breast cancer diagnosed in the early stages was
74%. Today, it is 99%. Additionally, as a result of earlier
detection and improved treatment options, we have seen a
steady decrease in the overall breast cancer mortality rate.
Because of you, Susan G. Komen has touched every one of
these advances.
We thank all of you—survivors, donors, sponsors,
volunteers, and advocates—for your investment in Komen
Northeast Ohio. Your support is leading to real, lasting
change in our community and around the world, change
that we should all be proud of. Together, we look forward
to the day when we realize our vision of a world without
breast cancer.
Warm Regards,
Michael Gall
