Boston Breakers News Release


The Boston Breakers scored two victories this week, one on the field, the other off the field. Saturday marked Boston's third straight PUMA Project Pink game, and the Breakers beat the Philadelphia Fever, 2-0, sporting their pink jerseys. Those jerseys were auctioned off during the game, followed by an additional 24-hour online jersey auction Monday-Tuesday. The two auctions combined to raise more than $5,000, which will go to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

"We are delighted to have raised so much money for an amazing charity," Boston Breakers General Manager Lee Billiard said. "The game itself was a great event, another sellout, plenty of supporters turning the stands pink, and for us to send a check of over $5,000 to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer capped off a remarkable day. Thank you to everyone who bid on the jerseys, a lot of generous donations that will go towards a very worthy cause."
