Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT Team Up with Million Mammograms Challenge to Encourage Early Breast Cancer Screening

National digital billboard campaign promotes early detection during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT Media (NYSE: OUT), one of the largest and most-trusted IRL media companies in the U.S., have partnered with the Million Mammograms initiative, benefiting the Cancer Research & Treatment Fund (CR&T). Million Mammograms advocates for women to schedule and share their mammogram dates throughout October. The campaign’s creative is running across digital out-of-home networks with a clear, urgent call to action: encouraging women everywhere to schedule their screenings and take the important next step for their health.

Now in its second year, The Million Mammograms Challenge was created by advertising tech executive Mindie Kaplan with the goal of changing narratives for women around shame, celebrating their femininity and early detection. The campaign shines a light on one of the most common cancers affecting women in the United States, where one in eight will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, featuring the slogan “Cancer Isn’t the Star of My Story.” The campaign stems from the response to Kaplan’s image in the creative, taken by photographer Tom Kubik, which shows her six months after her double mastectomy to commemorate the halfway point of her surgeries. She was emboldened to launch the nationwide Million Mammogram Challenge after receiving an overwhelming number of responses to the photo on her personal Instagram, challenging her followers to post their mammogram dates and seeing how many were encouraged to schedule long-overdue exams.

“Since the launch of the Million Mammograms Challenge, we have worked to reach millions of young women and advocate for them to take the next step in their health journeys by scheduling their mammogram dates,” said Kaplan. “The support of Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT helps us reach them through billboards they come across in their daily lives and reduce the stigma around breast cancer and early screenings.”

Through the partnership, Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT are helping to highlight the critical role of early detection through regular mammograms as one of the most powerful tools to save lives, putting their digital networks to work in support of the campaign’s mission.   

“Our joint partnership with the Million Mammograms Challenge reflects the industry’s commitment to leveraging the reach and scale of our networks for good by helping to drive one million mammograms by 2028,” said Dan Levi, EVP & CMO, Clear Channel Outdoor. “The campaign is a reminder of what out-of-home can do when combined with a meaningful cause that inspires real, measurable impact across the communities we serve.”

The campaign’s creative can be seen across thousands of digital billboards nationwide throughout October.

“Mindie started with an idea. Today, it’s a movement with the power to change lives. We’re proud to partner with Million Mammograms and Clear Channel Outdoor to help bring this important message to communities across the country,” said Stacy Minero, Chief Marketing Officer, OUTFRONT. “Together, we’re using the scale of our networks to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and inspire people to take action.”

Expanded benefits and incentives provide resources to build offerings, pursue new business, and deliver customer success

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle AI World — Oracle today announced a $1 billion commitment to its partner ecosystem to help partners capitalize on customer demand for AI-powered solutions and services.

Spanning the next four years, the investment is intended to expand opportunities for partners to develop innovative solutions, build specialized expertise, and deliver the technology and services customers need to support business transformation and pursue improved outcomes.

It encompasses new and expanded Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) benefits and incentives, including planned investments in training and certification, technical enablement, development, testing and demonstration environments, cloud migration funding, go-to-market collaboration, and commercialization through Oracle Marketplace. See related Marketplace announcement.

Oracle’s diverse partner ecosystem includes systems integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs), cloud and managed service providers, value-added distributors, resellers, advisory firms, and other partners. Across Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle Database, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and related AI services, partners contribute in different ways, from developing complementary solutions to providing advisory, implementation, and managed services.

“Our partners extend our sales reach, expand our delivery capacity, and bring their own innovation and investment to help customers address evolving business needs,” said Mark Hura, president of Oracle Global Field Operations. “Through the Oracle PartnerNetwork, we’re strengthening our ability to reach more customers, deliver solutions at scale, and accelerate innovation and business outcomes.”

Investing in partner growth and customer success
The Oracle PartnerNetwork gives partners the flexibility to select benefits, incentives, and resources that best support their business strategies and growth priorities. Oracle is expanding its OPN investments across four areas:

Build differentiated offerings. Oracle provides dev/test environments, technical guidance, and integration validation to help partners create innovative solutions. Partners can combine their industry expertise and intellectual property with Oracle technology to develop specialized applications, integrations, accelerators, and AI agents that address customer needs.
  Sell and grow with Oracle. Sales and marketing collaboration, demonstration environments, and eligible funding and incentives for eligible opportunities help partners showcase their solutions and pursue new business opportunities. Trainings, certifications, expertise recognition, and Oracle Marketplace help partners differentiate and commercialize their offerings.
  Deliver with confidence. Training and enablement, migration resources, and advisory services help partners plan and execute customer engagements. Tools and methodologies support application implementations, database modernization, integration, and cloud services.
  Drive ongoing customer success. Oracle provides tools and resources, including Oracle AI Success Navigator, for partners to support customers beyond initial deployment. Partners can help drive adoption of new capabilities, optimize existing investments, and deliver ongoing innovation and business value.

“Our partners have different business models, capabilities, and growth ambitions, and our investment is designed to support that diversity,” said Leah Yomtovian, senior vice president, Partner, Sales, and Operations Strategy, Oracle. “By giving partners greater choice and flexibility in how they build, sell, and deliver with Oracle, we’re helping them grow their businesses while bringing more innovation, specialized expertise, and value to our customers.”
