Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Annual Report Online
As we enter a new year we can reflect on what we have accomplished, and to set our sights on what has yet to be done. To help chronicle this progress, we have just unveiled our 2008-2009 annual report, which is available online at www.komen.org/annualreport. As this report shows, the impact of our collective efforts this year is simple. We were once again what we have been since our founding – a beacon of hope during uncertain times.

Many of California's lowest-income women in their 40s no longer will be eligible for free breast cancer screenings by the state beginning New Year's Day. The recently announced cuts to California's Every Woman Counts program would effectively shut the doors to breast cancer screening services for 1.2 million low-income and uninsured women for the first six months of 2010.
