Feburary Volunteer Opportunity in support of Komen Tissue Bank

Come out and volunteer to support Komen Tissue Bank!  See flyer and volunteer assignments for main event February 28, 2015.  All volunteers must register on-line and attend a volunteer orientation session the week of the event.  See below for instructions. 

 

As we know, there is especially need for donations among minority women. The event will be held at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, McNair Campus.  On that day, we will join together with other local breast cancer organizations, Pink Ribbons Project, Komen Houston, MD Anderson, and community churches in advancing breast cancer research.

 

The tissue bank will collect breast tissue from healthy women to answer the question: "What makes healthy breast cells become cancerous". 200 volunteers are needed to help out with the event.  See attached for the volunteer assignments.  When you register, you will need to identify yourself with a group and a code. This will let the organizers know that you received the invitation to participate from me.

Registration Codes:

•         Group Name:  African American Outreach Committee

•         Group Code:  2015 AA Reach
