Komen Greater NYC is grateful for the ongoing support of its corporate sponsors. Their cooperation and collaboration makes it possible for us to do our work — ensuring all women, men and families receive breast health education, screening, treatment and support without regard to race, gender, socioeconomic status, physical disability or sexual orientation.
As we at Komen Greater NYC look back on all that happened in 2011, we would like to take a moment to thank the following organizations and companies who are instrumental to our success. We also invited comments from our sponsors as to why they support Komen Greater NYC. We want to share their thoughts with you.
“As New York’s drugstore, we are committed to investing in the future of the communities in which we live and work. That is why we are proud to be, once again, the Local Presenting Sponsor for the Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure. We believe that being actively involved in such a worthwhile cause will have a positive impact over the lives of the two hundred thousand people in North America who are suffering with breast cancer.”
Robin Costa
Senior Director of Human Resources


“1010 WINS has been a proud media partner of Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure since its inception. But every time I go to a Race, I hear from a different listener telling me how they first heard about the Race on 1010 WINS or how they got tested after hearing the announcements. It makes me realize the importance of being a part of Komen’s effort in creating the awareness that leads to early detection and an increased breast cancer survival rate.”

“We are returning once again, because of the feedback that I received from the people who attended on Race Day. It was my first time participating, and I didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed at how many people thanked us for being there every year. They were not only thanking us for the giveaways, but also for helping the cause. They said they make sure that the Key Food booth is the first stop they make. This event is one of the largest donations we make and truly one of the only ones where we are out in the public’s face letting them know that we support the fight against breast cancer.”

Advertising Manager, Key Food Stores Co-op



“Macy’s has a long-standing commitment to bettering women’s health through our fundraising efforts, foundation grants and employee volunteerism. Supporting organizations such as the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is something our associates and executives believe in and feel good about as they enjoy being a part of a greater collective experience that helps raise awareness and educate women in the fight against breast cancer as they race for a cure.”
Margaret Grioli
Vice President of Corporate Communications and Employee Giving
“The Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure plays an important role in local communities and PepsiCo is proud to support these efforts. PepsiCo and several of our food and beverage brands—including Aquafina, Gatorade, Tropicana, SunChips and Quaker Oats—had a tremendous Race Day presence at the 2011 Race. With 400 PepsiCo team members raising more than $60,000 for Komen Greater NYC, we were pleased with the event’s success and the funds raised to support Komen’s important work.”

“The White Rose Good Neighbor Program is proud of its association with the Susan G Komen Greater NYC. The foundation provides vital services and education to the many underprivileged communities that make up our customers. Simply stated, its services save lives and ensure that countless families can continue to enjoy the love of their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. At White Rose, we are honored by this partnership and look forward to many more years of collaboration.”
Luis Tejada

“Countless breast cancer patients, including many who travel from New York to Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia, rely on Komen for support throughout their journeys with cancer. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Greater New York City Affiliate, as together we seek to help patients take back control over cancer, provide necessary access to medical care, empower them with information and maintain their courageous spirits!”
