You may know that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, but did you know that more than 3 million women in the USA have been diagnosed with breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in American women?

 Since 1982, the Susan G. Komen foundation has been one of the leading non-profit foundations working to prevent and cure breast cancer, with assistance from local businesses across the country, like The Dwyer Company. The Dwyer Company is one of Ohio and Kentucky’s leading providers of underpinning, basement waterproofing, and concrete repair services. They’re also advocates for community involvement, supporting organizations with worthy causes, like Susan G. Komen. Here’s how.

Susan G. Komen Foundation

The focus of Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is to spread awareness, education, resources, and funding to those who need it the most, working to change the way people speak about and approach breast cancer and those who are affected by it. Since their non-profit organization began, they’ve funded more than $988 million towards research advancements, and more than $2 billion towards education, screening, and treatment costs in over 60 countries. Not only do they provide direct support to survivors and fighters of breast cancer, they help fund research into medical advancements that could help treat it through grants, investments, and direct funding. With their assistance, there’s been a 39% decrease in breast cancer mortality rates since 1989.

The Dwyer Company’s Part

While the Dwyer Company’s clients know they can rely on them for expert underpinning or concrete repair services, you may not know about their involvement in fighting breast cancer. Since their start in 1973, they’ve been passionate about giving back to the communities they serve by taking part in charity and fundraising events year round. One of these key organizations is the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. To support them, The Dwyer Company’s employees participate in fundraising events to donate money to their organization.
