The Komen Tissue Bank (KTB) is excited to announce that on July 12 & 13th, 2025, in partnership with the WNBA All-Star Host Committee, we will hold All-Star Cure, a huge two-day, four-shift tissue collection event. Over the course of these two days, we plan to collect healthy breast tissue from 500 women, and we will have 800 volunteer shifts available. Clearly, we need your help!
Although we will be only collecting tissue from biologically female participants, both men and women are welcome and needed to help. Volunteering at a KTB event is a unique opportunity to make a profound impact on breast cancer research. By donating your time, you help scientists access vital tissue samples that are crucial for understanding and combating this disease.
Two shifts are available on each day of All-Star Cure (July 12 & 13, 2025), from 7:30am to l:00pm, and 12:30pm to 6:00pm. Individuals are welcome to volunteer for more than one shift; however, you must be able to fully commit to work for the entire shift. We cannot accommodate any late arrivals or early departures.
Lunch will be provided. Volunteers working the first shift will eat lunch afterwards; those working the second shift should arrive by 11:45 to eat lunch beforehand. Every volunteer will receive an All-Star Cure volunteer t-shirt.
