Portland Beavers News Release


PORTLAND, Ore. - On Sunday, Aug. 2, the Portland Beavers are teaming up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Health Net of Oregon to "Strike Out Breast Cancer" when the team plays host to the Sacramento River Cats at 2:05 p.m. at PGE Park.

As the Beavers continue to help in the fight to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease, the team will don limited-edition, pink-and-blue Nike jerseys among the many activities to take place during the "Strike out Breast Cancer" event. As part of the team's efforts to help raise funds to fight the disease, which is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women ages 40-59, the Beavers will be conducting a silent auction before and during Sunday's game, with each of the authentic, game-worn jerseys being presented by the players to winning bidders following the game.

Last season, the Beavers raised more than $5,900 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure through a similar auction. Funds raised from the silent auction and other activities at this year's game will directly benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure Oregon & S.W. Washington Affiliate.

In addition that day, Health Net will present a check for $5,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

To show support of the foundation's efforts or survivors in their lives, fans in attendance at the Aug. 2 game are encouraged to wear pink attire or their Komen Race for the Cure T-shirts. This year's Komen Portland Race for the Cure, which is part of the largest series of 5K runs in the world, will be held Sunday, Sept. 20. For more information, go to www.komenoregon.org.
