Louisiana Swashbucklers News Release


(Lake Charles, La.) The Louisiana Swashbucklers and several of their corporate partners including US Agencies Insurance and Domino's Pizza honored Ms. Ethel Precht in their annual Pink Game held March 24th for her work in the fight against Breast Cancer.

"The Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer Foundation does great work in the local community and we wanted to show our support for the work they do," said Chris Meaux President and General Manager of the Louisiana Swashbucklers. "The families they help are right here in our community, we see and know the families that receive this help and that is important."

In addition to honoring her organization the Swashbucklers, US agencies, and Domino's Pizza raised money to benefit the organization to help in their fight against Cancer. Corporate Partner US Agencies donated $1 for every policy written in February. "US Agencies believes that the parishes of Cameron and Calcasieu have provided so much to our organization in the past that it was time for us to help and give back," commented Danielle Simon District Manager for US Agencies. "Through the My Community Program at US Agencies we are given the chance to participate in these local events and are excited to invest back into the community." Domino's Pizza had a fundraiser on March 20th and donated a portion of pizza sales that day to the Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. The Swashbucklers raised money through the sale of their annual FirstMate calendar and the sale of Pink footballs. In all, these three partners presented Ms. Ethel with checks in excess of $7,000 to benefit her organizations cause.

This year's fundraising drive culminated at the game on March 24th, which was deemed "The Ethel Precht Pink Game." Specially made pink footballs were exclusively used for the entire game and an Ethel Precht section was designated in the arena, in which proceeds from the sale of seats in that section were donated to the foundation.

The Ethel Precht Foundation is well known in the area, and her annual 3K walk drew over 2500 participants last October. It started in 2004 with only a few hundred, but has grown each and every year since.
