DALLAS, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, and Expedia®, one of the world’s leading full-service travel brands, are offering individuals an opportunity to help raise critical funds for breast cancer when they book their travel with Expedia, just in time for the upcoming summer travel season.

At Expedia, we believe that travel is a force for good and through this collaboration, we can make good on that promise by helping more not only enjoy the experience of travel, but also give back to a meaningful cause,” said Clayton Nelson, Vice President and General Manager of Retail Partnerships, Expedia Group.
