Susan G. Komen for the Cure is a volunteer driven organization dedicated to eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.

Volunteers support the structure of our organization. They make programs happen. We could not exist without them.

Komen CNY credits its success to the many outstanding volunteers who share their energy, ideas, talents and enthusiasm. There are hundreds of volunteer opportunities each year, from handing out water at the CNY Race for the Cure® to becoming a spokesperson on the importance of early detection and education. Whether you are looking for a year-round commitment or a one-time event, the CNY Komen Affiliate has a place for you.
