Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Komen Florida Suncoast Affiliate are returned to the community while the remaining income goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Research Grant Program. In 2010, the Florida Suncoast Affiliate awarded just over $1 million dollars to the community to support screening and treatment for the underserved.
