Are YOU Ready to Take A Swing Against Breast Cancer?

Today, the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and the PA Association of Community Bankers held a press conference in the Main Rotunda at the PA State Capitol to kick off the 2009 PA Home Run Derby!

Speakers included PBCC President & Founder Pat Halpin-Murphy, PACB President & CEO Frank Pinto, All-Star Statewide Sponsors Ted Williams of Ameriprise Financial and PA State Rep. Rick Taylor, Dauphin County Commissioner Nick DiFrancesco, and PA State Rep. Garth Everett.

After a few stories of personal run-ins with breast cancer, every speaker asked for Pennsylvania's support of the 2009 Home Run Derby. Rep. Garth Everett presented the House Resolution which will declare July the Home Run Derby Month in Pennsylvania.

A few media outlets stopped by to cover the kick off! Blue Ridge Cable 11 did a nice piece about the kick-off! Check it out on YouTube!

That is all for now!
