Boston Breakers midfielder and PUMA Athlete Leslie Osborne along with teammate Jordan Angeli had some fun testing out their new pink kits and getting ready for their “Project Pink” game this weekend (keep an eye out for a little video we may have filmed with the girls during our visit!) PUMA launched Project Pink this week, and the Breakers game this Saturday, July 31st will mark the first of five WPS games focused on breast cancer awareness.
PUMA will outfit players in special Project Pink kits for these matches, and the brand has also created a range of Project Pink merchandise that is available for purchase in stadium or by visiting shop.puma.com. 100 % of the profits from the sale of PUMA’s Project Pink gear will be donated to a breast cancer-affiliated nonprofit to be named as the result of a national online voting campaign.
“When I heard about Project Pink, I thought it was such a great idea and knew I wanted to get involved and help however I could,” explained Osborne. “Breast cancer affects so many women across the country and around the world, and I know a few friends’ and teammates’ moms who’ve suffered from and beat the disease – but I think it’s important not to wait until it hits home to educate yourself. Project Pink is an awesome opportunity to reach out to the fans. I think awareness is truly the first step.”
Come to the Breakers game this Saturday at 6pm to support the team and Project Pink!
