Empowering Women, Building Breast Health Awareness

Now in its fifth year, Pin-A-Sister™/Examínate Comadre™ is a faith-based initiative to motivate African-American and Hispanic women to take control of their breast health and reduce health disparities. By partnering with faith leaders, this campaign has successfully brought hope and empowerment to women of color.
Our public awareness campaign has reached an estimated 4 million people through Mother's Day 2011, spreading the word about the importance of screenings.

Each year, our supporters and funding partners play a pivotal role in expanding this campaign to new venues both statewide and outside the United States.

By helping to motivate women to pledge their commitment to early breast cancer detection and promise to have regular mammograms or mammography screenings, we believe our campaign can save lives.
We are grateful for our supporters and funding partners who have allowed us to provide a continuum of care for underserved women, as we continue our battle against breast and cervical cancer in our communities.

Sincerely,
Donna Thompson
Chief Executive Officer

Susan G Komen for the Cure Chicagoland Logo
The Chicagoland Area Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® was established in 1997 and held the first Susan G. Komen Chicago Race for the Cure®. With the support of our signature fundraiser, the Komen Chicago Race for the Cure®, the Komen Chicagoland Affiliate has awarded over $8 million towards the fight against breast cancer by funding grassroots breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects, as well as national research. Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds raised by the Affiliate are dedicated to fighting breast cancer locally in the Chicagoland metropolitan area. The remaining 25 percent of net proceeds raised are contributed to the Komen Grants Program which funds research and education programs. The generosity and spirit of our corporate sponsors and community partners enables the Affiliate to organize the Susan G. Komen Chicago Race for the Cure® (held on September 24th, 2011) as well as other breast cancer awareness events and fundraisers throughout the year.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is responsible for protecting the state of Illinois from disease and injury. IDPH funds two vital programs at ACCESS: the Stand Against Cancer initiative (through the Center for Minority Health Services) and the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (through the Office of Women’s Health). These programs allow ACCESS to provide screening, diagnostic and supportive services to low-income, uninsured women.

STAND LOGO

Stand Against Cancer is an innovative program funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health Center for Minority Health Services to reduce racial and economic disparities in access to breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment.
