After her 36-year-old sister died of breast cancer in 1980, Nancy Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her honor. Its mission is bold: eradicate the disease by improving research, screening, education, and treatment. Since its inception in 1982, the organization has grown into a global network of volunteers who raise money and awareness through local affiliates and by sponsoring Komen Race for the Cure events. The races raise money, but also deliver a message of support to survivors. Over the years, the organization has raised $750 million, making it one of the largest cancer charities in the world. This mask was created by local artist Jessica Stockmyer.
