The NSW Waratahs Women’s team are proud to announce a one-year partnership with the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation (SBCF).
The partnership will see SBCF as the official charity of the four-time undefeated Super W Championship winning Waratahs and see the SBCF logo feature on the back of the jersey for 2022 season, which kicks off this Saturday in Canberra.
President, Lynne Crookes said Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation is excited to be the Charity Partner of the NSW Waratahs Super W squad with both organisation’s values aligning perfectly.
“The NSW Waratahs Super W squad is a group of exceptional women, dedicated to supporting each other on and off the field; an ethos Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation is proud to be aligned with,” Crookes said.
In Australia, one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, it is the most diagnosed cancer, and sadly eight people will die each day from this disease.
Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation continues to drive community discussion about an individual’s breast health, both self-check and regular mammograms, and seeking the guidance of a qualified health professional for personalised care.
NSW Waratahs and Rugby CEO, Paul Doorn said it is great to be spreading awareness to such an important issue.
“The NSW Waratahs Super W players have been outstanding ambassadors for the game of rugby – and for the promotion of women and girls in sport,” Doorn said.
“This partnership provides an opportunity to promote awareness and education on the importance of regular breast cancer screening across our entire rugby community.”
In addition to awareness and health promotion, SBCF raises funds to support research and services that improves care and treatment of patients with breast cancer.
