The Addison-based Mary Kay Ash Foundation has awarded a $500,000 grant to the Baylor Scott & White Dallas Foundation to accelerate a clinical trial focused on triple-negative breast cancer and to support early-detection work at BSW’s Texas Cancer Interception Institute\u2014an initiative launched earlier this year to shift cancer care from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The foundation said the gift reflects its commitment to funding research that improves outcomes for cancers that disproportionately affect women. Michael Lunceford, president of the Mary Kay Ash Foundation board of directors, said in a statement that the organization remains focused on advancing earlier intervention across women\u2019s cancers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mary Kay Ash Foundation remains committed to finding cures for cancers affecting women,\u201d Lunceford said in a statement. He added that the grant is intended to help drive \u201ca powerful next step in redefining cancer care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Support for a pioneering trial<\/h3>\n

Part of the funding includes $100,000 in continued support for the TRIM-EBC clinical trial led by breast cancer researcher Joyce O\u2019Shaughnessy, MD, chair of the Celebrating Women program for Breast Cancer Research. The study examines whether certain weight-loss medications can reduce recurrence risk in overweight breast cancer patients. Baylor Scott & White researchers say that findings could inform future treatment guidelines.<\/p>\n

A new approach to early detection<\/h3>\n

The remainder of the multi-year gift supports the Texas Cancer Interception Institute (TCII) at Baylor Scott & White Health\u2019s Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center. TCII was established in March 2025 with a $7 million gift from Jeff and Carmen York to advance early-stage detection and interception strategies for multiple cancers.<\/p>\n

The institute integrates research and clinical care, using tools such as multi-cancer early detection blood tests, AI-driven analytics, and coordinated patient navigation to identify at-risk individuals much earlier. Designed for broad-scale use, TCII aims to shift women\u2019s narratives from \u201cI have cancer\u201d to \u201cI have cancer, but we caught it early,\u201d while improving survivorship across communities.<\/p>\n

A long-running partnership<\/h3>\n

The foundation said its latest commitment underscores a shared vision with Baylor Scott & White to improve outcomes through early detection and transformative research. Over the past 20 years, the Mary Kay Ash Foundation has contributed $1.3 million to the Baylor Scott & White Dallas Foundation.<\/p>\n

In recognition of that work, the foundation received the Circle of Care Award at the 2025 Celebrating Women Luncheon, which honors leaders shaping the future of breast cancer research and care. The luncheon has raised more than $42 million to support research, detection, and programs for women and families facing breast cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMary Kay Ash believed in the power of women to change the world \u2014 that conviction lives on through her namesake Foundation\u2019s bold commitment to advancing women\u2019s health by investing in early detection and better treatments,\u201d Christina Goodman, president, Baylor Scott & White Dallas Foundation, said in a statement. <\/p>\n

She added that when “brilliant minds” like O\u2019Shaughnessy collaborate with philanthropic partners, \u201cextraordinary things happen,\u201d bringing \u201chope, healing, and new possibilities\u201d to patients.<\/p>\n

Global efforts<\/h3>\n

Mary Kay Inc. said the Dallas foundation\u2019s work reflects a broader global commitment to ending cancers affecting women. Beyond North Texas, international efforts include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • In Spain, Mary Kay partners with the FERO Foundation to support metastatic breast cancer research.<\/li>\n
  • In Brazil, the Instituto Mary Kay funds cancer education and screening programs reaching thousands of women annually.<\/li>\n
  • In Malaysia, Mary Kay collaborates with the National Cancer Society of Malaysia to promote early detection.<\/li>\n
  • In Canada, the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation supports Look Good Feel Better workshops for women undergoing cancer treatment and provides product donations to help women feel beautiful after cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \u00a0<\/h6>\n

    \nAcross its global markets, Mary Kay Inc., its foundations, and its charitable funds have contributed nearly $44 million worldwide toward research, education, and support programs focused on cancers affecting women, according to the company.<\/p>\n
