Susan G. Komen San Diego is excited to announce its inaugural Impact Luncheon, set to take place on March 21, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the prestigious Mister A's in Bankers Hill. This special event will raise awareness about breast cancer while providing crucial resources for those undergoing treatment and navigating difficult times.

The luncheon will be hosted by the dynamic Sam Zien, also known as “Sam the Cooking Guy” (celebrity chef and restaurateur) and his wife Kelly Zien, a breast cancer survivor, both of whom will be honored at the event. The luncheon will provide an intimate setting for board members, Susan G. Komen leadership, survivors, patient advocates, donors, and community advocates to connect and celebrate the shared mission of supporting those affected by breast cancer.

With over 43 years of dedication to the cause, Susan G. Komen has funded life-saving research and provided vital services to individuals facing breast cancer. Since 2020, Komen has served thousands through its Patient Navigation Program, which provides essential support to those facing barriers to treatment and care. This program has been instrumental in reducing diagnosis and treatment delays, improving patient outcomes, and strengthening communication between patients and their healthcare teams.
