Statements ...

Susan G. Komen for the Cure St. Louis Affiliate has a very specific promise - to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all and energizing science to find the cures.  Our focus remains on the organization's vision to simply create a world without breast cancer.
 
The St. Louis Affiliate has never granted any funds to Planned Parenthood and neither has our National Organization, so none of the money raised in St. Louis have ever funded a Planned Parenthood grant. A complete list of all of our grantees, funded since 1999, can be found at www.komenstlouis.org.  For more information, click here.
