BAMMA USA Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- A Driving Force in MMA During This Month of Awareness
BAMMA USA’s intention is to bring further awareness to its hundreds of fans inside the venue for Badbeat 11 and to its thousands of fans watching worldwide on the MMA promotion’s live internet stream. "We all know of someone who has been affected by cancer," stated BAMMA USA CEO Brett Roberts, "a couple of our fighters and staff have lost loved ones to cancer. Additionally, one of our BAMMA USA (fighter) alumnus is a cancer survivor. The national month-long awareness campaign reminds women to get checked, since it is my understanding that early detection plays a key role in beating the disease, we wanted to do our part in potentially saving someone’s life. With the platform we have and the number of people we reach at each of our shows, we want to be the driving force in MMA during this month of awareness."
BAMMA USA’s “Pink” Features Bring Awareness to Badbeat 11
According to The American Cancer Society, “The pink ribbon has become a powerful symbol to increase awareness about breast cancer. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and throughout the year—people wear pink ribbons to honor survivors, remember those lost to the disease, and to support the progress we are making together to defeat breast cancer."
"Pink" features at Badbeat 11 include:
• All BAMMA USA personnel will wear pink ribbons
• Referees and cutmen will wear "pink ribbon" wristbands
• The Badbeat MMA sign above the entrance door to the Badbeat cage will have a pink background
