Philanthropy powers the development of NORMAL tissue research. Individual gifts provide essential operating support for the Komen Tissue Bank.
Your monetary donation will ensure the team can continue to collect high-quality samples, increase the diversity of samples by connecting with donor communities of color, and provide research resources for scientists to discover why some women develop breast cancer and others do not.
To learn more about how your gift can support the Komen Tissue Bank, please email Ashleigh Wahl at awahl2@iu.edu or call 317-278-5313.

This was my first time doing this and I’m so glad I did. My cousin had both breasts removed last year and Teresa is a survivor…this was for you and all the women out there who are still with us!
