This past weekend as the Philadelphia Independence tied the Boston Breakers in a 2-2 draw, Independence fans rallied around PUMA’s Project Pink to show their support of breast cancer awareness.  Fans stopped by the PUMA tent before the game to sport a pink PUMA cat tattoo, pink face paint and don pink PUMA bandanas.  They also had the opportunity to show support for loved ones affected by the disease by signing the “I PLAY FOR” wall.

To show YOUR support, you can log onto wps.pumafootball.com/projectpink and nominate your favorite breast cancer charity who could ultimately receive a donation consisting of 100% of the profits from the sale of PUMA Project Pink gear.  Fans, its up to YOU- join the fight against breast cancer and get involved!

This past Saturday, the Boston Breakers tallied a 3-1 victory over the Washington Freedom while sporting their pink kits and playing host to their Project Pink game.  The crowd of over four thousand fans showed up to cheer the Breakers on to victory and to show their support of PUMA’s Project Pink and breast cancer awareness.  Following the game, the Breakers auctioned off the pink jerseys and raised over $7,000 which was donated to Boston’s chapter of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Boston Breakers forward Lauren Cheney commented on the significance of playing in the pink jerseys: “My grandma had breast cancer and I know a lot of people that have been affected. To be playing for this cause and to be auctioning off these jerseys, it was fun, a good time and it made me want to work a little bit harder.”
