The monies raised by Komen are used to provide assistance in ways no other agency provides; without these funds, basic needs of local breast cancer patients would not be met.  These needs range from free mammograms and treatment co-pay assistance to emergency rent and utility payments, transportation assistance, and child care assistance for those in active breast cancer treatment.
