VS&Co is committed to investing in the health and wellbeing women. We are so proud of the work we do through the VS Global Fund for Women's Cancer, Susan G. Komen and other cancer causes around the world.

A core part of the Global Fund is dedicated to accelerating innovation in cancer research for women, by women, to advance the next generation of leaders in women's cancers.
