via Business Wire

Community Event to Support People with Breast Cancer, Raise Funds for Research and Advocacy Takes Place September 27

Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, will convene breast cancer survivors, those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and supporters at the 2025 Susan G. Komen Seattle MORE THAN PINK Walk. This impactful event unites our community and raises money for the mission of Komen.

Komen aims to raise $200,000 at the Seattle MORE THAN PINK Walk, generating critical funds that allow Komen to continue its investment in lifesaving work across the country, including promising research that will allow people to live longer lives with better outcomes. This event also funds Komen’s Patient Care Center, a trusted, go-to source for timely, accurate breast health and breast cancer information, support and resources, as well as the work of Komen’s Center for Public Policy to drive state and federal policies that invest in critical programs and ensure streamlined access to affordable, high-quality breast health care.

WHY IT MATTERS: Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. and 1 in 1,000 men in their lifetime. In 2025 alone, an estimated 316,950 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,170 women will die from the disease. Approximately 2,800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 510 will die from it. However, some experts say one-third of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented with universal access to modern treatments.

In Washington, approximately 7,680 will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 800 will die from the disease this year. Susan G. Komen provides direct support to Washington residents through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to 544 patients, including $154,400 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.

“The critical funds raised by the generous supporters of the Seattle MORE THAN PINK Walk are what makes Komen’s work possible in the Pacific Northwest,” said local Komen Executive Director, Jenifer Weiss. “We look forward to bringing together community this fall and celebrating their resilience in our shared vision of a world without breast cancer.”

Bank of America is the national presenting sponsor and Lily, Natera and Novartis are national series sponsors for the MORE THAN PINK Walk events.

Some of the local sponsors of the 2025 Seattle MORE THAN PINK Walk include: AstraZeneca, Fluke and Pfizer. You can view a full list on our event website: www.komen.org/seattlewalk
