Breast Cancer In the News

Promise Grant targets elusive breast cancer
Our first-ever Promise Grant, a new group of grants designed to discover and deliver the cures for breast cancer more quickly, will focus on one of the deadliest and most elusive forms of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer. Through Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, American Airlines is pledging $7.5 million over five years to fund M.D. Anderson’s Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Program and Clinic in Houston. How will this grant fund a unique team over the next five years?

Grant helps rural Hungarian women
As we continue our global commitment, we awarded a $100,000 grant to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to sustain the critical work of the Women’s Health Empowerment Program, an initiative to educate and provide breast cancer screening to women in rural Hungary. Our founder and former Ambassador to Hungary, Nancy G. Brinker, presented the grant at a ceremony with Dr. Klara Dobrev, the wife of the Prime Minister, during a discussion on the toll of breast cancer in the country.
What's Up?

Imagine a world without breast cancer
Can you imagine the day when you won't have to fear for the life of your loved one? Making that world a reality is our single-minded mission. A mission supported by millions of people like you who stand alongside us to end breast cancer forever. Help us share that vision.

Are you aware of your breast health? Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? Being aware of your own breast health remains a critical step in the early detection of breast cancer and greatly improves a woman's odds of beating the disease. You should be aware of your personal risks and the benefits of lifestyle choices in terms of reducing the risk of breast cancer. What else can you do to decrease your risk of developing breast cancer?

Taking our promise to new heights As our first Lifetime Promise Partner, American Airlines is outfitting its livery with our pink ribbon to show support in the fight to end breast cancer forever. A total of eight American and American Eagle airplanes will sport the special livery, spreading the message of breast cancer awareness throughout the world.
