Event Photography  tissue bank photography

IU Simon Cancer Center recently visited Evansville and Oncology Hematology Associates to collect 200 samples of healthy breast tissue for research.  Fischer Photo & Video was there for this amazing event to capture candid photographs of the many volunteers as well as the awesome, self-less donors.  It truly was an inspiring sight to witness everyone involved; all the doctors, nurses, surgical assistants, phelbotomists, runners, donor escorts, cheering section, height and weight checkers, smoothie chefs :-), all there volunteering toward finding a cure.

The Komen Tissue Bank will collect a large number of minority samples for research throughout the world. If you didn’t get a chance to donate or volunteer at this event, stay tuned, there will be more Tissue Bank opportunities in the future.  You can learn more about the Komen Tissue Bank at the Simon IU Cancer Center on their web site.

And you can find more of my pics from the day in the Portfolio section of my web site here.
