Golf4Her will donate 10% from the purchase of the Kathryn Skort to the Morgan Pressel Foundation. Founded by LPGA Tour Pro, Morgan Pressel, the
mission of the Morgan Pressel Foundation is to raise funds to fight
cancer, primarily breast cancer, through early diagnosis, genetic
counseling, development of new treatments, and basic research
complimenting all of the above modalities. Monetary grants are made to
Hospitals, Medical Schools, and Research institutions to accomplish the
mission.
Morgan, a star player on the LPGA Tour, wanted to honor the memory of her mother, Kathryn Krickstein Pressel who passed away at an early age of breast cancer. This foundation is extra special because Madison, Morgan's younger sister, is a Golf4Her Ambassador.
Morgan
devoted herself to fighting this disease. In a short period of
time, she has helped to raise over $3.4 million dollars to aid and
support patient care and research in the fight against breast cancer.
In
2010 the Kathryn Krickstein Pressel Mammovan, under the direction of
the Boca Raton Regional Hospital became a reality. This mobile miracle
travels throughout Palm Beach County providing affordable breast exams
and health care to those who might not otherwise receive it.
In 2013,
the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Lynn Cancer Institute announced the
opening of the Morgan Pressel Center for Cancer Genetics. The center is
designed to ascertain an individuals risk for developing certain cancers
that have strong hereditary links.
For more information about
the foundation, visit www.morganpresselfoundation.com. Help
us honor the memory of their mom and other women whose lives have been
affected by breast cancer with the purchase of this special pink rose
print skort.
We launched the Kathryn Collection in
November, because awareness should be 365 days, not just 31 in October. This
Golf4Her Charity Skort is the first in a series of charity athleticwear, specifically
designed to drive awareness about causes that impact the lives of women
and the foundations that support them.
