We are living in uncertain times but we are here for you, your family and anyone facing breast cancer who needs our help.
Every day there’s more news about COVID-19 and what our world looks like. We are all changing and adapting our lives like never before. Which is why Komen South Carolina has created the Komen South Carolina COVID-19 Action Fund to help us serve those in South Carolina most vulnerable to coronavirus.
You can give hope in these unsettling times. COVID-19 is putting financially struggling breast cancer patients at even greater risk, devastating their families and making treatment more difficult to access.
