Breast cancer knows no boundary be it age, gender, socio-economic status, or geographical location. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. The key to survival is early detection.

Be Aware --- Take Action

Make these changes part of your life. You are the cure.

1. Annual mammography beginning at age 40
2. Clinical breast exams at least every three years beginning at age 20 and annually at age 40
3. Monthly breast self-examinations for all women beginning at age 20

Speaker's Bureau

Host a Komen Speaker

The Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ Western New York Affiliate offers a volunteer speaker's bureau that provides educational information on breast health and breast cancer for organizations, businesses, schools, and community groups free of charge.

As an organization actively involved in the fight to eradicate breast cancer through research, education, screening and treatment, we at the Komen Western New York Affiliate believe our speaker's bureau is a valuable service to the community and crucial to the support of our mission.

The bureau consists of trained volunteers, many of whom have been personally touched by breast cancer, who come prepared with educational materials to share our life-saving information and personal stories with you. We strive to recruit speakers who are representative of the communities they will serve and to reach out to underserved populations.

Our speaker's bureau illuminates the realities of breast cancer, treatment options, volunteer opportunities, and outreach programs, providing help, answers and inspiration to those touched by breast cancer.

To inquire about scheduling a Speakers Bureau presentation for your next event, please call (716) 504-5508.
