As many individuals in the Nashville area prepare for this significant event, statistics reveal the pressing nature of breast cancer. Nationwide, 1 in 8 women and 1 in 1,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. In 2025 alone, it is estimated that approximately 316,950 women will receive breast cancer diagnoses in the U.S., with an anticipated 42,170 deaths due to the disease. Specifically in Tennessee, around 6,960 individuals are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer, leading to approximately 1,160 deaths in the state.
The funds raised from the walk will support programs like Komen’s Patient Care Center, which offers critical support and resources for breast health and cancer information. In the fiscal year 2025, the Susan G. Komen organization provided $116,000 in financial assistance to eligible patients undergoing active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.
April Douglas, Tennessee Executive Director for Komen, underlined the importance of community support to sustain funding for breast cancer-related initiatives. This year’s event sees Bank of America as the national presenting sponsor, with additional sponsorship from Lilly, Natera, and Novartis.
