Since Father's Day is this month and we will all be thinking of the men in our lives, I thought I'd pick a charity with them in mind... ;)
I absolutely love the name! So "catchy", easy to remember and downright hilarious!

"Save 2nd Base" is a unique and humorous phrase to support the fight against Breast Cancer. A play on words of the old baseball euphemism is now synonymous with a battle cry heard ‘round the globe!
"...Breast cancer is no laughing matter, but since we have lost so many wonderful women (and men) to this disease we decided to fight it with humor."

Their inspiration:
"Kelly Rooney was a loving wife and mother of five young children. Rooney was Save 2nd Base’s co-founders, Erin Dugery and Kelly Day’s sister and friend, respectively.
Kelly battled breast cancer for three years, and underwent countless surgeries, rounds of chemo, and radiation. Despite her challenges and obstacles, she knew cancer couldn’t take away laughter.
Kel was funny. She had a quick wit, loud laugh, and endearing wink. She taught those around her to “lighten up.”
Kelly was mischievous…she was no saint and never set out to be. She was utterly human, with a big, giant heart.
Kelly passed away on July 11, 2006 at the age of 43. Through her memory, she continues to be the creator of the smiles that are provided by these t-shirts."

If that doesn't remind you to do your monthly self breast exam, I don't know what does! :)
The ladies from Save 2nd Base are honored to be our June Charity of the Month. May we all love our "girls" enough to check them regularily and give where we can to save them. :)
