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. were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,170 women were expected to die from the disease. Approximately 2,800 men were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and 510 were expected to 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. *Statistics for 2026 have not yet been released

In FLORIDA, approximately 23,920 were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and 3,210 were expected to die from the disease in 2025. *Statistics for 2026 have not yet been released

Susan G. Komen provides direct support to people in Florida through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to 2,146 patients, including $431,200 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.

"The work Komen does for people with breast cancer, survivors and those with increased risk of breast cancer is not possible without the MORE THAN PINK Walk in West Palm Beach and the critical money we raise from our generous supporters," said Danielle Crouch, Development Manager of Komen West Palm Beach. "We look forward to bringing together the West Palm Beach community this fall and uniting around our goal of creating a world where we do not lose another life to this disease."
