Consumers Can Help Fight Breast Cancer with New Bank of America Products Supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

Bank of America will make a donation to Komen for the Cure for each new pink ribbon-themed credit card, check card or checking account opened. In addition, every time a consumer uses the credit or check card to make a purchase, Bank of America will contribute a percentage to Komen.

“This new partnership represents a great opportunity for the breast cancer movement, allowing Komen to raise significant awareness and funds for research and community programs that are critical in our fight to end breast cancer forever,” said Katrina McGhee, vice president, global partnerships, for Komen.

Consumers can sign up for the Komen Banking products at banking centers nationwide and online at www.bankofamerica.com. Applications will also be available at select Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® and Breast Cancer 3-Day events beginning later this month. Each year, more than 1.5 million people run or walk in more than 120 Race for the Cure events, and more than 40,000 people participate in 15 Breast Cancer 3-Day events.

“We are very excited to have the Susan G. Komen for the Cure partnership and the availability of their branded financial services products through Bank of America,” said Mike Simpson, affinity management executive for Bank of America. “Their mission touches many lives and continues to have a great impact with the efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.”

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. 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. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, we have invested more than $1.3 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
