Amex Launches "Charge for the Cure" to Raise Money for Breast Cancer


American Express will be supporting the fight against breast cancer for the fourth year in a row when it launches Charge for the CureŽ to raise $500,000 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

American Express is donating one cent for every purchase made on an American Express card at participating stores from September 1 through October 31. American Express has already donated $1.3 million in similar campaigns.

"Our continued involvement in the fight against breast cancer is one way American Express fulfills its core value of being a good corporate citizen," said Susan Griffin, vice president, AmX retail industries. "Charge for the Cure will not only help raise money for breast cancer research and community outreach programs, but it will also help raise awareness about this disease and the great work carried out by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation."
