Hundreds donated breast tissue during Indy Super Bowl. Now you can help during All-Star Weekend
In 2012, nearly 700 women donated healthy breast tissue during the NFL Super Bowl in Indianapolis, which became the world's largest single-day donation event of its kind. Now, as the city prepares to host the WNBA All-Star Weekend, that momentum returns with the All-Star Cure. On July 12 and 13, one weekend before the All-Star Game, the Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center will host its second-largest event ever, aiming to collect breast tissue samples from 500 women at the IU Simon Care Center. Organizers are counting on the energy surrounding women's basketball, and the star power of Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark, to draw broader visibility and participation. "This is a real opportunity to encourage women under the age of 40 to participate in these studies to ensure that we're advancing research and treatments representative of all women," said Portia-Bailey Bernard, a WNBA host committee member. Bailey-Bernard, who has donated to the tissue bank, said she "would do it over and over and over again." The news of breast cancer diagnoses in her own circle, she said, felt "debilitating," and she sees her donations as an empowering step forward. As a former athlete, Bailey-Bernard said that she's never seen energy around women's sports at this level and believes the moment presents a powerful opportunity to drive positive attention to women's health. She added that getting involved with the cause gave her a chance to create generational impact. Bernard and her four-year-old daughter, Maxwell, are regulars at Indiana Fever games. By bringing Maxwell to the All-Star Cure event, Bernard hopes to show her just how powerful it can be when a community rallies together. "Everything in the world is so polarizing right now," she said. "With All-Star weekend, I want (Maxwell) to see what we can do as a community when we put aside those differences to showcase our team and our city." The All-Star Cure builds on the legacy of the 2012 Super Cure by addressing gaps in research, particularly the need for more racially diverse and younger donors. Organizers like Kathi Ridley-Merriweather are calling on Black, Latina, and Asian women to help close the gap. "There's been all kinds of amazing discoveries made in breast cancer," Merriweather said. "Unfortunately, those discoveries have been made by studying primarily white women over 50, and they do not have the same results in other populations." According to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. Among younger patients, the disparity is even greater with Black women facing nearly double the mortality rate. As the outreach lead, Merriweather said her role is to build trust in communities of color that have long been left out or harmed by the medical system. "I am upholding and validating feelings of fear and hesitation," she said. "Oftentimes, these population members are afraid to ask the questions that they really want to know because they have not been taken seriously. I'm out there to take them seriously." Other organizers like Jill Henry said for most people, joining a clinical trial only happens after a diagnosis. This event, she said, flips that, inviting healthy women to contribute to preventative research. Each donor undergoes a short health screening and a minor outpatient procedure to collect a small amount of breast tissue under local anesthesia. The process takes about an hour. Scientists use these healthy tissue samples as a baseline to detect early cellular changes. "We send these samples to researchers around the world from Australia to Norway and labs here in the U.S.," Henry said. "I'm certainly not the one doing the research, but I support the research so that it can move forward to help my daughter and hopefully minimize the breast cancer impact to future generations." All-Star Cure takes place in four shifts over July 12 and 13. Interested participants can learn more and register at Organizers are aiming for a diverse group of women over 18 who are in general good health and not currently pregnant or nursing. "It's empowering to know that a little bit of breast tissue and 60 minutes of my day went to long-term lasting impact," Bernard said. "To be a part of something that's truly bigger than yourself."

Chelsea advances to Club World Cup semifinals with 2-1 win over Palmeiras
PHILADELPHIA — Chelsea scored the go-ahead goal on Malo Gusto's 83rd-minute shot that went in after a pair of deflections, beating Palmeiras 2-1 on Friday night for a spot in the Club World Cup semifinals. Chelsea advances to Club World Cup semifinals with 2-1 win over Palmeiras Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead in the 16th minute but Estêvão, an 18-year-old who will transfer to Chelsea this summer, tied the score against his future club with an angled shot in the 53rd. Gusto's shot following a short corner kick appeared to deflect off defender Agustin Giay and goalkeeper Weverton and sent the Chelsea portion of 65,782 fans into a frenzy. FIFA credited Weverton with an own goal. Chelsea won't travel far for its next match, facing Fluminense on Tuesday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hércules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in Friday's earlier quarterfinal. With Chelsea's win, three of the four semifinal teams will be from Europe, with one from Brazil. The 23-year-old Palmer scored his first goal in the Club World Cup, and showed why he's widely considered one of the top attacking midfielders. He took a pass from Trevoh Chalobah and slipped the ball inside the far post. Fans made it to Lincoln Financial Field on a holiday weekend that included a strike by nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia, competition from an earlier Phillies game, and a concert and fireworks show near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. FIFA had slashed tickets to as low as $11.15. FIFA president Gianni Infantino attended the game, the eighth of the tournament at the home of NFL Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. There was a pregame pregame tribute for Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, who were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed and burst into flames on an isolated stretch of highway. Forward Liam Delap and defender Levi Colwill each got their second yellow cards of the tournament and will be suspended for the semifinal. Estêvão agreed to a deal with Chelsea last summer that moved him to Chelsea afterhe turned 18. soccer: /hub/soccer This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
