The Northeast Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
The Cleveland Komen Affiliate was established in 1994, following the first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®.
In 1999, the Cleveland Affiliate merged with the East Ohio Affiliate to become the Komen Northeast Ohio Affiliate.
Since 1994, primarily through the Komen Northeast Ohio Race for the Cure®, the Komen Northeast Ohio Affiliate has raised $12 million to provide funding and support to Northeast Ohio agencies working to end breast cancer forever.
In 2007, the Affiliate Board of Directors approved 22 grants, which fund programs that allow women from all backgrounds access to mammograms and treatment, provide breast health education and offer ongoing support to women, men, their families and friends.
