Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, today awarded a USD $100,000 grant to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), a 94-year-old, overseas, humanitarian aid organization which works in more than 60 countries worldwide. The grant, which solidifies the fifth year of partnership between Komen for the Cure® and JDC, will help sustain the critical work of the Women’s Health Empowerment Program (WHEP), an initiative to promote breast cancer awareness and early detection.
