The New York Boulders and the Center for Breast Health at Good Samaritan Hospital will be celebrating “Pink in the Park” Day for Sunday’s game versus the Tri-City ValleyCats. Good Samaritan Hospital’s Medical Director, Dr. Karen Karsif runs their Center for Breast Health, and was a guest on the “House Calls” program last month. Dr. Karsif says most women who get breast cancer have no family history at all, but excessive alcohol consumption can raise the risk nearly 20 percent…
“House Calls” is heard on the second Thursday of each month at 5pm. Sunday’s “Pink in the Park” breast cancer awareness and fundraising event features “pink” giveaways including t-shirts, bracelets and headbands. There will also be an in-game “survivor ceremony.” The game gets underway at 6pm, the gates open at 4, with a concert by the Stephen Alexander Band.
If you do go to the game, you’ll see that 13 seats in the first row behind home plate will be empty. The Boulders say those seats won’t be sold for the remainder of the season in honor of the 13 U.S. servicemen and women killed in the terrorist attack in Afghanistan last week.
