Breast Cancer Research Foundation

I am kind of jam-packing them, but it's a lot of tournaments I've been invited to, a lot of charity tournaments I've been doing.

So we did BCRF, we did F Cancer.

Now we're doing Movember for Block Wars November 1st.

It'll be a regular Block Wars... like tournament but also a movember charity stream uh and usually donations have some sort of effect on the game uh so it makes it a little bit more interesting so that'll be fun uh i'm on a team with uh jumper who wolfie mari and zoil uh so we have a pretty interesting team there's a lot of other people in the event though ludwig uh fucking sneeg snag he's on another team me and sneeg are normally on the same team so it'll be a lovers to enemies type situation there But I think that'll be fun.

Sunday is Movember, Block Wars charity event.

I'm playing with Mari, Zoyle, Wolfie, and Jumper Who, I think.

And that'll be our last charity stream until December because we just did BCRF and F Cancer.

And then we're doing this one back-to-back-to-back.

And I thought, you know, because they have a hub in Detroit and I'm a local entrepreneur in, you know, in the metropolitan Detroit area as well.

I thought, well, I can reach out to them and see if they might be interested in collaborating with me on a clothing item that this October for their employee uniforms, with 100% of the funds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

And they said yes.

And I was like over the moon.

And I introduced them to my SAC manufacturer, who happens to be in Frayser, Michigan.

So it really is win-win-win for Michigan all the way around and beyond because they had it in their pink boutiques in many different airports where they have hubs.

And so it was strictly for their employees to buy with 100% of the proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

who they've worked with for many, many years.

Fran Bisco has been absolutely critical in terms of funding for breast cancer research.

Susan Komen for The Cure, founded by Nancy Brinker, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Evelyn Lauder.

I mean, these are folks who have been highly influential in a couple of ways.

First of all is increasing awareness.

You know, this really helped to drive that move towards de-escalation that you and I talked about.

Do we have to do all this? Can't we do less? Can't we come down to a tailored approach? And then the last thing is that I think breast cancer and all cancers, but especially breast cancer, have really benefited people.

from investment in research, both at the federal level through the NIH and through the Department of Defense, through other kinds of mechanisms, and through our philanthropic organizations like Komen for the Cure, like Breast Cancer Research Foundation, like the American Cancer Society.

So this focus on research about the underpinnings and how breast cancer grows and how it dies and how we can treat it, that really has translated from research laboratory to people And, you know, we're not able to make observations in people that we can take back into the research realm.

More than 1,000 granted employees across the country participated in the event, which also included raffles and guest speakers from medical field.

Earlier this month, Rob and Karen Hale donated $50 million to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the largest single donation ever made to breast cancer research.

The Quincy Fire Department will hold an open house on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their training center on Crescent Street in West Quincy.

The public is invited to participate in this year's theme, Charge into Fire Safety.

So if they are donating it to, they might say an organization, you probably will need to Google that organization and make sure it's actually a reputable organization.

We have a couple, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation Foundation.

which you may see BCRF as the abbreviation.

You may see that on things.

That's a good company.
