About Komen Lubbock
  • About Komen Lubbock

    The history of the Komen Lubbock Area Affiliate is rich with many dedicated and passionate breast cancer survivors, volunteers and advocates who donate their time, energy and knowledge to the mission of eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.  The Affiliate was established in 1995 with a small group of survivors and activists committed to spreading the life-saving message of early detection and to supporting breast cancer screening and diagnostic programs in West Texas.  Today, we have more than 600 volunteers committed to saving lives, empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.  

    The Affiliate has grown tremendously since its beginning more than 15 years ago. To date, the Lubbock Area Affiliate has raised more than $3 million to help fight this disease. 

    Up to 75 percent of the net income from the Komen Lubbock Race for the Cure® and other fundraising activities remain in the community to fund breast cancer education and screening programs in our 16 county area. Komen for the Cure - Lubbock Affiliate sends a minimum of 25 percent of our net income to support The Komen for the Cure National Award and Research Grant Program.
