Local Services We Fund
This year we have awarded $1,300,758! We are proud to announce our impresssive roster of current grantees.
In the fiscal year 2010-2011 our Affiliate funded and our grantees provided 6,047 breast cancer screening services, and from these screenings 50 breast cancers were diagnosed. Without Komen South Florida Affiliate funding, these cancers might have been missed. They also provided patient navigation and support to 1,622 breast cancer patients.

LESS TALK MORE ACTION
In a recent study of 1.5 million women with insurance, fewer than 50 percent had received regular mammograms.
This is unacceptable because we know that early detection saves lives. The 5-year relative survival rate for breast cancer when caught early is 98%. When it's not? 23%.
