About the May Kay Ash Foundation: Since 1997, the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation has supported top medical scientists nationwide who are searching for a cure for the cancers that affect women, including breast, cervical, uterine and ovarian. Last year, the Foundation awarded $1 million in research grants to a select group of research scientists.
Since 2000, the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation has also awarded thousands of dollars to women's shelters across the country. In 2005, the Foundation distributed $20,000 grants to 150 shelters. To help bring national attention to the problem of domestic violence, Mary Kay Inc. and the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation underwrote a powerful PBS documentary in 2001 called "Breaking the Silence: Journeys of Hope," produced by Connecticut Public Television. The program has aired more than 800 times, reaching 98 million television households in all 50 states.
This is all a part of the Gulls' "King-Sized Week," which features Saturday's big home game against Utah at 7:05 p.m.
