"We are delighted to be partnering with Read for the Cure®," said Christina Alford, Susan G. Komen® SVP of Development. "With the launch of their app, they're bringing new and creative reach to Komen's mission to end breast cancer; we're very grateful to key partners like Read for the Cure for helping us fund lifesaving research, and community programs that support families living with breast cancer, who need our help today."
We are the only newsstand app that gives back—20 percent of all subscriptions purchased through the app are donated to Susan G. Komen®. As an added bonus, everyone who downloads the app will receive a free issue of a magazine so you can immerse yourself in world-class content and experience the future of newsstand.
The app offers two different reading displays to ensure a superior reading experience—the standard magazine view plus a reader view where subscribers can change font type, size, and background. You can also access the table of contents for each magazine and bookmark your favorite articles.
The app also offers a newsfeed that features popular articles from leading magazines and the latest breast cancer and breast health resources and tips to stay healthy. Please find a link to the app video here.
