Let’s give a standing ovation to our incredible presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, for rocking with us for the 4th year in a row at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Northwest Indiana! 🎸💗 Their unwavering passion and dedication to our mission have made a lasting impact, with nearly $125,000 raised over the years.

It’s an honor to spotlight Ryan Gooley, one of our incredible Men Wear Pink of Indianapolis ambassadors! 👏 Men Wear Pink is a nationwide campaign that raises awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support services. Through their efforts, ambassadors like Ryan help to inspire action and make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. ✍️ In Ryan's words: “I’m a Men Wear Pink Ambassador because cancer has impacted my life since I was a young kid. My grandfather passed from pancreatic cancer, and this past year, I lost my mother to a rare form of leukemia. I know the odds that 1 out of every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. When I look at the people in my life, I have known numerous friends, family, and coworkers who have battled breast cancer. More needs to be done to change those odds. I am excited to be part of Men Wear Pink and raise money to advance research and treatment because cancer affects everyone. That's why I'm stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have.” Thank you, Ryan, for your commitment and leadership to this important cause! Your passion and dedication are truly inspiring.

We're tackling cancer together and couldn't be more grateful for our touchdown-worthy partnership with the National Football League (NFL), its clubs, players, and the NFL Players Association to provide individuals with the tools they need to help them better understand early detection and ways to reduce their cancer risk.

🔬 Exciting developments in prostate cancer research! Dr. Mangilal Agarwal, one of our grant recipients at Indiana University, is on the path to creating a low-cost, noninvasive test that could revolutionize cancer screening. The mechanism behind this innovative new test? Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the same molecules that enable dogs to detect prostate cancer with over 95% accuracy! “Our goal is to improve early detection, particularly among individuals facing socioeconomic disparities, including veterans and minorities.” – Dr. Agarwal
