ABOUT THE AMERICAN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION (ABCF)
The Women’s Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) and the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) have joined forces to promote “Racquetball for Life,” a campaign designed to raise breast cancer awareness, prevention and detection through the sport of racquetball. The partnership was established between the two groups to support and promote ABCF’s mission of providing breast cancer screenings and treatment to underserved and uninsured citizens throughout the United States.
“The WPRO is honored to be working with ABCF on the Racquetball for Life campaign,” said Shannon Feaster, Commissioner of the WPRO. “We hope that our efforts to promote this program at our major events will help save lives through early detection and will give hope to those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and cannot afford treatment.”
“ABCF is excited to partner with the WPRO to launch this important campaign,” said Phyllis Wolf, President and Co-Founder of ABCF. “Through the sport of racquetball, we hope to advance our goals of raising awareness about breast cancer detection and prevention and providing the underserved a fighting chance against the deadly disease.”
Since 1997, the American Breast Cancer Foundation has provided direct financial assistance to individuals for breast cancers screening and diagnostic tests and treatment support . The Key to Life Breast Cancer Assistance Program provides financial grants for a variety of diagnostic and support services including the screening and diagnostic mammograms, ultra sounds and emergency biopsies, wigs, medications, travel assistance and mastectomy bras. |
