Darlene SibigtrothDarlene Sibigtroth was serving as a school board member when she met her late husband. Raising five daughters kept her close to school management throughout her banking background with the Bank of Aspen. Later, as the family relocated to Denver, Darlene, as a breast cancer survivor and advocate for other women, became very involved with the formation of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and was responsible in part for their fundraising efforts in Denver and nationally.
The Denver Metropolitan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded in 1994, the year after the first Komen Denver Race for the Cure®, to carry out the mission of the National organization — to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease through advancing research, education, screening and treatment. The Affiliate continually strives to meet this mission through three core activities — education, fundraising and grant making. The Affiliate is well-recognized as a leader in grant making, having awarded more than $17 million to a wide variety of non-profits that provide breast health/breast cancer services to the uninsured and underinsured in our 12-county service area since 1993. The Affiliate is currently funding 35 projects, totally more than $3 million. In addition, we contribute 25 percent of annual net revenue to breast cancer research through our National organization.
