Our Promise:

To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all, and energizing science to find the cures.

Fort Worth native Rozanne Rosenthal chartered the Tarrant County Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in May, 1992 in honor of her friend, three time breast cancer survivor Joan Katz. When Joan was diagnosed with breast cancer, Rozanne made a commitment to start a Fort Worth affiliate, and in 1992, the first Komen Tarrant County Race for the Cure® attracted 1,800 participants. The Race continues to provide an opportunity for people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures to join together in a cause that is deeply personal.

Since the first Komen Tarrant County Race for the Cure^®, the local affiliate has grown by mobilizing hundreds of active volunteers who contribute thousands of hours to carrying out the promise. This year's Race is expected to attract more than 20,000 race participants and spectators, and will be the largest 5K held in Tarrant County.
