Play for P.I.N.K. (Prevention, Immediate diagnosis, New technology, Knowledge) was founded by Laura Lassman in 1990. Lassman first organized a tournament in Bergen County, New Jersey to support a friend undergoing breast cancer treatment. Play for P.I.N.K. is now the catalyst for 300 fundraisers held by volunteers in 28 states annually. Through 2014, Play for P.I.N.K. volunteers have raised a total of $34 million for breast cancer research - funding 17 life-saving research projects in the 2014 fiscal year. Bloomberg underwrites administrative costs so that 100% of all funds raised are donated directly to a sole beneficiary, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Other corporate partners include the Estée Lauder Companies which provides products for gift bags and Wilson Sporting Goods who supplies golf and tennis balls. In December 2013, the Board of Play for P.I.N.K. presented The Breast Cancer Research Foundation with a record-breaking contribution of $4,250,000. The ''Wall Street Journal'' reports: "Where other organizations may see fatigue with walks, runs and other sporting events, Ms. Lassman says that Play for P.I.N.K. has grown annually. "We're going strong," she says. "Every day we keep getting more and more calls. We're not waning."" ==References== * (Delta Sky Magazine ) * (Wall Street Journal, "Playing Through for Cancer Research" Aug. 27, 2012 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Play for P.I.N.K.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
