Every year, the KTB holds two major tissue donation events — and you’ll find our information booth at community expos and other activities across Indiana. Sign up, volunteer, or just stop by to say hello. We look forward to meeting you!
Don’t miss your chance to donate, volunteer, or spread the word!
Quick facts about tissue donation events
- The Komen Tissue Bank holds two to three breast tissue collection events each year.
- At least one event each year is held in the Indianapolis area. If possible, another one is held in a different U.S. city, usually chosen because of concentrated diverse populations.
- Online registration opens seven to eight weeks before a scheduled event.
- It takes about 60-90 minutes to donate healthy breast tissue (times are approximate).
I came in support of my best friend and her family who are currently dealing with breast cancer. I am just happy to be a part of the fight to beat this cancer. May God help us find a cure.
