The Bank of America-Komen partnership has raised more than $6
million since 2009 for breast cancer research and programs. Through
the Pink Ribbon Banking program, Bank of America makes a
contribution to Komen for every new Komen-branded credit card
account opened, every purchase a cardholder makes with it, and for
every new Komen-branded checking account opened.
In addition to the Pink Ribbon Banking products, Bank of America
employees across the country annually volunteer more than 13,000
hours and raise $400,000 in matching gifts for Komen’s mission.
Bank of America has sponsored Susan G. Komen fundraising events
since 2009 and is now presenting sponsor of more than 130 Komen
Races and seven 3-Day events in the U.S.
“Bank of America and its employees have been a tremendous source
of support for our work in all of the cities that we mutually serve
and beyond,” said Komen President and CEO Judith A. Salerno, M.D.,
M.S. “We’re delighted to be working with Bank of America for
another five years, and to welcome them as our Race for the Cure
and 3-Day Presenting Sponsor.”
“Breast cancer has touched all of us in some way — family
members, co-workers and friends — and Bank of America is proud to
support Susan G. Komen in its fight against breast cancer,” says
Jake Frego, senior vice president of Affinity Products at Bank of
America. “Through our Pink Ribbon Banking products, sponsorship of
events and the support of our employees, we are dedicated to give,
walk and act toward finding a cure.”
