Komen Phoenix 2010-2011 Grant Recipients

Since 1996, the Komen Phoenix Affiliate has distributed over $18 million to breast education, screening and treatment in Arizona as well as to the Komen Headquarters Research Grant Program. Through the Affiliate’s year-round fund raising efforts, along with our hundreds of dedicated volunteers, the Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure® participants, sponsors and friends, we are making a difference to end breast cancer forever.

This year the Phoenix Affiliate granted over $2.2 million.  Local organizations in central and northern Arizona received $1.7 million in grant funds and over $540,000 was funded to the Komen Research Grant Program.
