As part of the NFL’s annual league-wide “A Crucial Catch” breast cancer awareness program, the Cincinnati Bengals have awarded a grant to TriHealth to fund mobile mammography services for uninsured women in the Cincinnati community.
Through the new “Sack Breast Cancer” initiative, the Bengals have already donated $4,000 and will donate an additional $100 for every quarterback sack made by the Bengals’ defense in October. The proceeds are the beginnings of a fund that will enable the TriHealth Women’s Services Van to host mobile mammography events in neighborhoods served by TriHealth Parish Nurses.
“We are grateful to the National Football League and the Cincinnati Bengals for their generous gift to our Parish Nurse program,” said Anjie Britton, TriHealth’s Executive Director, Marketing Services. “The commitment made by the NFL and the Bengals to help women in our community overcome a crisis in their lives is appreciated by those who help them and, most importantly, by those who benefit from our services.”
