The Lowcountry Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure fights every day to cure breast cancer at every stage, from the causes to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between. We want to turn breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors.

Interested in having the Komen Lowcountry Affiliate speak about breast health with your office, church or civic group, or simply a group of friends? Please submit your request using our Outreach and Education Event form.

Outreach and Education Event Request form (DOC)

You may e-mail the completed form to forthecure@komenlowcountry.org, and we will reply with our availability. Due to limited resources, we request a minimum audience of 10 for presentations and lunch and learns. Donations are always appreciated to help offset the costs of the materials for these programs.

It is not our policy to participate in events which charge a fee for non-profit participation.

For more information, please call (843) 266-2699.

Knowing about breast cancer will empower you to take charge of your health, and one day could help you provide support to a friend of family member with breast cancer. Browse the material below and share it with those you love.
