Cook for the Cure
Cook for the Cure(R) created and sponsored by KitchenAid, was created in 2001 to give passionate cooks a way to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Through donation-with-purchase programs, special fundraising events, auctions and grass roots initiatives, the Cook for the Cure program has raised more than $5 million globally to support the fight against breast cancer, with more than $4 million of that in the United States benefiting Komen for the Cure. KitchenAid also supports breast cancer foundations in other countries including Canada, France, Germany, South Africa, Greece and Israel.
Komen for the Cure was established in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died of breast cancer at age 36. In the 25 years since its inception, Komen for the Cure has successfully brought breast cancer out of the closet, changing how the world talks about and treats the disease. It has grown to become the world's largest grassroots network of survivors and activists, investing nearly $1 billion in the cause and turning breast cancer into a priority health issue for women, researchers, health professionals and politicians.
Thanks to the partnership between KitchenAid and Komen for the Cure, there are several ways to support the fight against breast cancer and help the millions of women who have been diagnosed with the disease:
