The Fight Against Breast Cancer is On - Are You In?
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Fort Worth wants to build an online community - a constant reminder that no one is alone in this fight.

What does “I’m In” mean?

I'm In #1It means you’ve been directly or indirectly impacted by breast cancer, and you refuse to let this disease win. Show that you’re in the fight by “liking” KomenGreaterFW on Facebook.

Visit www.facebook.com/KomenGreaterFW to upload and share your “I’m In” video or photo. We want you to be part of this online community and in honor of our 20th anniversary, we're hoping for 20,000 likes. Please help us reach our goal!


Grantee Spotlight
CAFNTKomen Greater Fort Worth is proud to partner with the Cancer Assistance Fund of North Texas. Through their Komen grant, they provide medical care from participating surgeons and medical and radiation oncologists, chemotherapy and radiation services and supplies, and lab and diagnostic testing incidental to cancer treatment. To be eligible for the program, the patient must meet certain requirements which include being uninsured or underinsured and they must document that their income is equal to, or less than, 300% of the federal poverty level. Financial services are limited to $10,000 per patient. The amazing collaboration among the physicians and the dedication of the foundation staff help multiply every treatment dollar provided by the Komen grant funding so that access to quality care is provided for those in need. We extend our thanks and our appreciation to those who work so diligently to improve the cancer journey for breast cancer patients.
