On Friday, September 20, 2013, Honoring the Promise will bring together the heroes of the breast cancer movement for a celebratory evening of inspiration and world-class entertainment, including Moderator of CBS News' "Face the Nation," Bob Schieffer as Master of Ceremonies. On this special night, we will honor those on the frontlines of the breast cancer fight with special awards of distinction, including presentation of the Betty Ford Lifetime Achievement Award to Victoria Reggie Kennedy and the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Global Leadership Award presented by Occidental Petroleum to Caterpillar, Inc. and the Scientific and Medical Award to Olufunmilayo I. Olopade, MD, FACP.

Honoring the Promise both celebrates and recognizes the Komen community of survivors and supporters who share in the promise Nancy G. Brinker made to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, to end breast cancer forever. Proceeds from Honoring the Promise are used to fund cutting edge national research efforts and community health programs in our National Capital Area, including a major project in Wards 7 and 8 of Southeast, D.C., which have the second-highest breast cancer mortality rates in the nation.
