Susan G. Komen San Diego’s inaugural Impact Luncheon raises awareness about breast cancer

Susan G. Komen San Diego’s inaugural Impact Luncheon raised awareness about breast cancer while providing crucial resources for those undergoing treatment and navigating difficult times. The luncheon was hosted by Sam Zien (“Sam the Cooking Guy”) and his wife, Kelly, a breast cancer survivor, both of whom were honored at the event. The luncheon provided an intimate setting for board members, Susan G. Komen leadership, survivors, patient advocates, donors, and community advocates to connect and celebrate the shared mission of supporting those affected by breast cancer.

With over 43 years of dedication to the cause, Susan G. Komen has funded life-saving research and provided vital services to individuals facing breast cancer. Since 2020, Komen has served thousands through its Patient Navigation Program, which provides essential support to those facing barriers to treatment and care. This program has been instrumental in reducing diagnosis and treatment delays, improving patient outcomes, and strengthening communication between patients and their healthcare teams.
