RAINN

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation’s largest anti-sexual assault organization and was named one of "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth magazine. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotlines (800.656.HOPE and rainn.org) in partnership with over 1,100 local rape crisis centers across the country. The hotlines have helped more than 1.2 million people since 1994. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.

Women For Women International

Across the globe, armed conflicts have reached an unprecedented number. Ninety percent of those injured or killed in today’s conflicts are civilians, 75 percent of whom are women and children.

As never before, women are disproportionately affected by war and civil strife. Women are targeted for ethnic cleansing and subjected to rape as a tool of war. They lose male family members who leave to fight and are killed. Many are displaced from their own homes. When widowed by war, they are thrust into the role of sole provider, often without marketable skills or a viable means to earn an income and often in communities that do not value their place in society.

Founded in 1993, Women for Women International helps women in war-torn regions rebuild their lives by providing financial and emotional support, job skills training, rights awareness and leadership education and access to business skills, capital and markets.

Through these programs, women become confident, independent and productive as they embrace the importance of their new roles in rebuilding their families, their communities and ultimately, their nations. Women for Women International has learned through serving socially excluded women in conflict and post-conflict countries that engaging women is the most effective avenue toward creating lasting change and stability within a society.

Susan G. Komen For The Cure

For the past 25 years, Komen for the Cure® has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer - transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. Today, Komen for the Cure® is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. And thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, it is fast becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

This 25th anniversary is not solely a celebration of victories to date, but should be regarded as a watershed moment in the fight to end breast cancer worldwide. This is truly a cause without boarders, a global disease that could affect some 10,000,000 women around the world over the next 25 years. Keeping those numbers in mind and recognizing the growing global impact of breast cancer, the shared challenges among countries worldwide and the value of coordinated advocacy in the battle against this disease, Susan G. Komen for The Cure ® seeks to invest more than $2 billion over the next decade in breast health care and treatment for the underserved and in research to discover the causes of breast cancer and, ultimately, its cures.
