“The commitment these young athletes have demonstrated toward helping those struggling with ovarian and breast cancer is truly amazing. Statistics show that many of these young women will be faced with a loved one battling these diseases in their lifetime and it is so encouraging to witness their compassion and support at such a young age. We are all in this together and we are so grateful for this new partnership with the Houston Dynamo | Dash.”  In the Pink of Health 2019-20 co-chairs Dee Gelsomini & Debra Cooper.

 

“Memorial Hermann The  Woodlands Medical Center will always be committed to the health of the community and to community involvement. This is why we are so very proud to see these young Dynamo | Dash athletes raise awareness and funds to support breast cancer in our community,” shares Senior VP and CEO Josh Urban. “It is never too early to start prioritizing health.”

 

"It was an amazing night, we are so honored to be affiliated with such a wonderful organization that does so much for women's health.  Our girls wear their pink shirts with great pride and it was heart warming to hear about the programs and initiatives that our donation goes toward." Randy Evans, Director of Coaching - Girls.

“It is such an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Program with the Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club.  They do a fantastic job of raising awareness throughout the month of October in our community.  My mother is fortunately a breast cancer survivor, so it brings me great joy to see all the pink shirts being worn by the athletes, knowing that the proceeds go towards finding a cure!”  Dr. Ross Hunter, Hunter Family Orthodontics.
