How golf supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month

There’s something about sports that makes all of our lives better.  There’s nothing like watching your favorite NFL or college team on the weekend score on a last-minute drive, or even better talking some trash with your friends on the course as they walk away a little lighter as you’ve taken some money out of their pocket. 

As much as we love watching and playing our favorite past times, one of the things you simply must love about sports is how much they can get behind a cause and the impact that they can make.  This month, many players, leagues and professional sports organizations shift that focus onto Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and you can expect to see players in all levels of sports rocking some pink throughout October in support of a great cause. 

This got us thinking about looking into some of the companies in our great game that are lending a helping hand this month to generate awareness and donations to breast cancer awareness and research, so we’ve highlighted a few items here from a few of our favorites that are raising money to support this worthy effort.

SQAIRZ

The team at SQAIRZ has gone all-in to help this incredible cause as they have joined forces with the American Cancer Society and embraced their “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign to come out with a pair of both men’s and women’s golf shoes that integrate pink into their color schemes as well as including the famous ribbon logo to support this incredible charity. 

The CEO and Founder of SQAIRZ, Robert Winskowicz, cares deeply about this cause, and when he was asked about why he and the team at SQAIRZ were getting involved he replied, “This is a deeply personal issue to me. I lost my brother to cancer, and I would do anything to prevent this from happening to another family. Whether it’s breast cancer or otherwise, this is a disease that has affected so many. I’ve really come to understand through my own experiences and the many other families I’ve met that are going through the same thing, what a devastating effect this disease has on families. We are supporting the ACS because so many millions have been positively affected by their great work and the golf community can do so much to spread education, awareness, and help to contribute to a worthy cause.” 

These shoes will be available in the SQAIRZ FREEDOM ACS Golf Shoe model for women and the SQAIRZ SPEED ACS Golf Shoe for men, so get a pair while they last and you can look good while feeling good about the fact that you are supporting such a great organization.

Pride Sports

For an easy, affordable way to rock some pink and help the cause, Pride Sports has integrated a Special Edition Breast Cancer Awareness Evolution Golf Tee line to raise money for this worth cause.  For less than $10, you can receive a 30 pack of tees that are extremely durable and are perfect for helping you tee it high and letting it fly.

Vineyard Vines 

The team at Vineyard Vines has decided to lend a helping hand this October, and with a clever redesign of the pink ribbon into their recognizable whale logo, Vineyard Vines has created a Limited-Edition Breast Cancer Awareness Long-Sleeve Harbor Performance Tee shirt.  This shirt supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it features a performance blended fabric to keep you cool and dry while also integrating a UPF 30+ sun protection to keep you comfortable and safe out in the sun.  Look good, feel good, and make a positive impact…what more could you ask for?!
