Community Event to Support People with Breast Cancer, Raise Funds for Research and Advocacy Takes Place September 28, 2025 co-presented by the Ford Dealers of Wisconsin

Susan G. Komen^®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, will convene breast cancer survivors, those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and supporters at the 2025 Susan G. Komen Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk. This impactful event unites our community and raises money for the mission of Komen, supporting those affected by breast cancer.

Komen aims to raise over $500,000 at the Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk, generating critical funds that allow Komen to continue its investment in lifesaving work across the country, including promising research that will allow people to live longer lives with better outcomes. This event also funds Komen’s Patient Care Center, a trusted, go-to source for timely, accurate breast health and breast cancer information, support and resources, as well as the work of Komen’s Center for Public Policy to drive state and federal policies that invest in critical programs and ensure streamlined access to affordable, high-quality breast health care.

WHY IT MATTERS: Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. and 1 in 1,000 men in their lifetime. In 2025 alone, an estimated 316,950 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,170 women will die from the disease. Approximately 2,800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 510 will die from it. However, some experts say one-third of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented with universal access to modern treatments.

In Wisconsin, approximately over 5,900 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 470 will die from the disease this year. Susan G. Komen provides direct support to Wisconsinites through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to 550 patients, including over $143,000 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.

“The work Komen does for people with breast cancer, survivors and those with increased risk of breast cancer is not possible without the Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk and the critical money we raise from our generous supporters,” said Nikki Panico, executive director Wisconsin at Susan G. Komen. “We look forward to bringing together the Wisconsin community this fall and uniting around our goal of creating a world where we do not lose another life to this disease.”

This year’s Komen Wisconsin MORE THAN PINK Walk is made possible by the following sponsors: Ford Dealers of Wisconsin, Foxconn, WaterStone Bank, SC Johnson, Campbell's, and Gruber Law.

Bank of America is the national presenting sponsor and Lilly, Natera, and Novartis are national series sponsors for the MORE THAN PINK Walk and Race for the Cure events.
