Community Profile 

Susan G. Komen Coeur d'Alene has done extensive research of the five counties we serve (Bonner, Benewah, Boundary, Kootenai and Shoshone).  The Community Profile helps us to see the gaps in our service, the gaps in the medical area, breast cancer rates in areas, mortality rates, etc.  By studying this profile we are able to focus our years ahead to fill those gaps and do our best to make sure that every one has access to the help and education they need.

rally logoRally for the Cure® is a grassroots program that works to spread awareness about breast health and breast cancer in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Our mission is to empower people to join the fight against breast cancer by educating their friends, family and community on the importance of early detection through an activity they are passionate about.

In the United States, a woman has a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. That is one out of eight mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, friends, co-workers, or community members. When detected early, before it spreads beyond the breast, the five-year survival rate is 98%!

These figures underscore the importance of early detection which can only happen when women are aware of what they must do on a regular basis.

How to Rally:

Volunteer "Event Ambassadors" host and plan the events locally. Rally provides all the materials to support the event including event decorations, a prize, participant goody bags and other breast cancer awareness items. It is that simple!  To learn more on how to Rally click here.
