Eric Brinker
Executive Producer
Eric Brinker is a marketing executive, venture investor, and now first-time filmmaker—driven by a personal mission to honor the legacy of his mother, Nancy G. Brinker, and to share the extraordinary impact of the movement she helped ignite.
For more than two decades, Eric has served as a national and local board member, volunteer, and spokesperson for Susan G. Komen, the organization his mother founded in memory of her sister Suzy. He played a key role in expanding Komen’s brand and mission—helping bring global attention to breast cancer at a time when few would even say the words out loud.
Today, Eric serves on the board of the Promise Fund, supporting a new, life-saving model that connects women—especially those in underserved communities—to screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Promise Me is not only a personal project—it’s the next chapter in a legacy of impact. Eric hopes this uplifting and galvanizing film will inspire a new generation of changemakers and serve as a powerful tool for nonprofits everywhere. Just as his mother’s groundbreaking work influenced countless organizations and helped shape modern cause marketing and grassroots fundraising, this film is designed to carry that influence forward—through screenings, storytelling, and a renewed sense of what’s possible.
Through Promise Me, Eric is keeping a sacred promise alive. This film is a living legacy to the women who fought, the movement that changed everything, and the mother who proved that one person really can change the world.
