Since its inception in 1997, the North Jersey Affiliate has awarded over $11 million in grants to more than fifty different organizations.
The remaining twenty-five percent is contributed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Research Grants Program. To date, the Affiliate has contributed approximately $5.1 million to this Program.
