“Honoring the memory of my late Aunt Susan G. Komen now through the innovative work of The Promise Fund.”
Together with his mother, Nancy G. Brinker, Eric Brinker assisted in raising more than $3 billion in support of life saving breast cancer research and community health programs.
Eric was present at the founding of the Susan G. Komen organization and has served as a global ambassador, spokesperson, and national board member. While serving on the Komen board and as a volunteer, Eric was key to establishing dozens of Komen’s largest cause related marketing partnerships that made the pink ribbon synonymous with the breast cancer movement including: Ford, American Airlines, New Balance, Yoplait, Walgreens, Bank of America and sports partnerships with the Dallas Cowboys and WWE.
Now, they have taken that experience to launch an innovative, community-centric model with a global vision. The Promise Fund of Florida aims to prevent the unnecessary progression of breast and cervical cancer in order to eliminate preventable loss of life in Palm Beach County, Florida.
