Educational
Early Detection Saves Lives
Learning about breast cancer and early detection is our best weapon against the disease and Susan G. Komen for the Cure strives to provide the most current educational resources in its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease.
Many of the most powerful resources we have are initiatives of the Komen Foundation itself, including 1-877-Go-Komen, a national toll-free breast care helpline answered by trained, caring volunteers who can provide answers, local resources and moral support.
Early detection is our best weapon in the fight against breast cancer. Remember to do your Breast Self Awareness Check every month.

Speakers Bureau
Komen CNY is committed to raise awareness about breast cancer in the community. Toward that end, we have created a Speakers Bureau. The Affiliate trains a core group of skilled and enthusiastic volunteers who will be ready to spread the word about the fight against breast cancer through free Breast Health Workshops and/or Seminars.
Workshops will cover many areas of breast health and breast cancer topics. They will be appropriate for different populations, including middle school through college age students, diverse ethnic groups, young mothers, working women, and women of retirement age.
