Grace Health’s PR Specialist created custom breast cancer awareness shirts for the event, designed to honor and remember those affected by breast cancer. The back of each shirt featured the names of individuals connected to Grace Health who are survivors or have passed away from breast cancer. These meaningful shirts were distributed to the football and cheer teams and given away to fans throughout the game.
