The Staten Island Yankees Take On Breast Cancer


The Staten Island Yankees are taking on Breast Cancer this morning with a little help from Staten Island University Hospital and you guys, the fans. The whole program is to honor breast cancer survivors and raise awareness for this disease by giving out information and free mammograms through an appointment. Here is the official press release from Jillian Wright of the Staten Island Yankees. I urge everyone who can attend this to do so because this is a great cause for anyone affected by this cancer and is a great cause overall.

Join Staten Island University Hospital and the Staten Island Yankees’ Breast Health Awareness
Night at Richmond County Bank Ballpark

On Sunday, July 21st at 4pm, Richmond County Bank Ballpark will be hosting Breast Health
Awareness Night presented by Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH). The evening honors
breast cancer survivors as it raises awareness. Throughout, jerseys autographed by the Staten
Island Yankees team will be auctioned off to benefit the hospital’s Comprehensive Breast
Center.

The first 2,500 fans through the gates will receive a free pink pinstriped jersey sponsored by
SIUH.

A mobile mammography vehicle will provide free mammograms; schedule an appointment with
the Project Renewal Mammography Van by calling 800.564.6868.
