Men Against Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Please join West Potomac RFC this Saturday after our annual Spring Thaw Tournament as we kick off the 2009 season and raise money for Men Against Breast Cancer (MABC).

Where: Hamilton's Bar & Grill - 233 2nd Street NW, Washington, DC

When: Saturday, March 7 from 7:00 – close

What: $5 donation to MABC gets you $1 PBR cans, give-aways, and other specials throughout the evening

Who: West Potomac and our guests from Quantico RFC, Winchester RFC, and Washington RFC

Why: Just about every rugger we know has a mom, sister, daughter, girlfriend, or wife that has supported his exploits on the pitch (or forgiven his antics at the drink-up). Helping MABC is just a small way to say "thank you" to the women in our lives.

About MABC

Steve Peck and Marc Heyison co-founded Men Against Breast Cancer (MABC), the first national non-profit organization to provide targeted support services to educate and empower men to be effective caregivers when breast cancer strikes a female loved one; as well as, target and mobilize men to be active participants in the fight against breast cancer.

MABC recognizes breast cancer is a family issue that devastates the entire family. Its philosophy is to leverage the support of the whole family to help the patient, with special emphasis on the important role of the husband/partner in caring for the woman he loves. At the same time, MABC recognizes and supports that the ultimate decisions regarding treatment and care are those of the patient.

Thank you to our sponsors for this event:
