Breast Cancer Continues to Impact Communities; Milwaukee Rallies Together to Take Action at Susan G. Komen® MORE THAN PINK Walk

Business Wire

Annual Event Unites Survivors, Those Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer, Families and Supporters to Raise Critical Funds, Provide Essential Resources and Accelerate Progress Against Breast Cancer

WISCONSIN, August 27, 2026--Susan G. Komen®, the world's leading breast cancer organization, today announced it will host the Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk bringing together survivors, those living with metastatic breast cancer, families and supporters for a day of purpose and action. The event, taking place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, will raise critical funds to accelerate lifesaving research, expand patient support services, support critical public policy efforts and help ensure every person facing breast cancer has access to the high-quality care they need.

Breast cancer continues to impact communities across the country. About every two minutes, someone in the U.S. hears the words, "You have breast cancer," and nearly every 12 minutes, someone in the U.S. loses their life to the disease. Diagnoses among women under 50 are also increasing, underscoring the urgent need for continued action. While tremendous progress has been made in improving breast cancer outcomes, too many people still face delayed diagnoses, unequal access to high-quality care and barriers that can impact their ability to receive timely, lifesaving treatment. For some, today's treatments won't be enough, making continued research essential to discover the next lifesaving breakthrough. In 2026, an estimated 6,030 people in Wisconsin will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 670 will lose their lives to the disease.

This year, Komen aims to raise $573,000 at the Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk. Funds raised through October 27, 2026, help address both the immediate and long-term needs of the breast cancer community by supporting patient care, groundbreaking research, and essential education and advocacy efforts that improve outcomes and expand access to high-quality care.

In FY 2026, more than 5 million people turned to Komen's breast health and breast cancer information to make informed decisions about their health care. During the same period, Komen's Patient Care Center provided 277 patient navigation services to 194 individuals across Wisconsin, helping patients overcome financial, logistical, and systemic barriers that can delay or disrupt access to care. Through Komen's Financial Assistance Program, 214 people in Wisconsin undergoing breast cancer treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer received $106,200 in direct financial support to help address critical needs.
