Komen’s Hope Village provides current patients, Survivors, and Thrivers (those living with metastatic breast cancer) with special self-care demonstrations, massage services, and free food to honor and celebrate their personal journeys. The Pillars area showcases Komen’s initiatives in research, critical patients care, community programs, and policy and advocacy. In addition, community leaders in breast cancer related fields will provide presentations and demonstrations on topics ranging from Breast Cancer 101 to how families and friends can support patients and survivors on their journey. The Walk will raise the financial resources needed to fund life-saving research investments, raise public awareness, and support folks fighting breast cancer. By uniting under one cause, Komen has been able to make an immense impact. They have raised more than $2 billion to date, with 80 cents or more of every dollar going directly to research, screening services, local healthcare, financial assistance, and support services. Currently, $988 million has been invested in research, more than any other non-profit. Parking & Event Map Susan G. Komen is on Facebook + Instagram + follow @SusanGKomen on Twitter
