Awards

Co-Survivor Award

In Memory of Anne Williams

This award was established in 2009 to honor one of Komen Northeast Ohio's most admired Co-Survivor and Komen Volunteer.  It was developed in memory of Anne Williams, a true Co-Survivor in every sense of the word. 

No one should face breast cancer alone. Co-survivors play a vital role in helping people with breast cancer, whether they are recently diagnosed or have already completed treatment. Co-survivors can be friends, spouses, family members, co-workers or neighbors, who do any number of things, large and small, to assist people dealing with breast cancer. Through its Komen Co-Survivor Program, Komen for the Cure recognizes that co-survivors are critical to the quality of life patients experience immediately after diagnosis, while undergoing treatment and well into survivorship.
