About the Tournament
We know, we know. Breast Cancer - it's not really top of the list of the things you're thinking about as the summer winds down and you head back to school (or into the Series).
Here's the thing. You, right here, can save your Mom's life. You really can. The stats are right there in the masthead. One in eight women will be diagnosed with Beast Cancer in their lifetime. That's three Moms for every average ultimate team. The positive is right up there, too: 96% of women who receive an early diagnosis are cancer-free within five years. If that doesn't have you hitting speed-dial for Mom, I don't know what can.
Pink Ribbons is a tournament dedicated to raising awareness of Breast Cancer and the positive effects of early diagnosis. If you come and play, your dollars will go directly to funding Early Detection campaigns -- saving Moms across the country -- PLUS you'll get a sweet tournament experience from Cultimate. If you can't attend this year, you can donate, participate in other Campaigns, or, simply, call your Mom to talk about breasts. I promise you you'll be glad you did.
