I have always been a big supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness & Research. I have have been participating in the Race for the Cure since High School and will as long as I can. I try to make each race but when I can not… I do send my donation in to help the research. I have not had anyone close to me diagnosed with breast cancer but have heard many stories and know many who have, so I want to help any way I can.
I was contacted by Save 2nd Base and fell in love with their Tee’s and their support of such a bad cancer that affects many women. This company started because of the loss of Kelly Rooney who left behind a husband and her 5 children. The story of how the phrase “Save 2nd Base” came about (See below), just shows how much of a positive outlook Kelly had even in her illness. Kelly came up with the idea of the Save 2nd Base tee to wear to 2005 Race for the Cure. They were an instant hit with her group as well as many at the race! Thus, brought the idea of making more and selling a Save 2nd Base line. Since 2006 they have been able to donate more than $30,000 to the Kelly Rooney Foundation as well as others too.
Save 2nd Base sent me 3 Tees, Kelly Fitted Tee $25, of which one for review and the other two for giveaway! This is the signature tee and I just love it! The humor of the two baseballs on your “2nd Base” is just too cute! I just love the color pink too! I can not wait to wear this one to the Race for the Cure this year! This tee is just one of the many items Save 2nd Base offers. You can even grab a Tee or Polo for your guy too! They even offer a Cameo shirts with antlers on it saying “Take care of your Rack” $23 (Two color choices) which is really funny too! Make sure you check out the sale items too!

More about Save 2nd Base
Save 2nd Base is a breast cancer apparel company that believes in “pink with a wink” – using humor to build awareness and grow the fight against this devastating disease. Over the past several years, Save 2nd Base t-shirts and attire have blossomed into a national frenzy with sales in all 50 states, around the world, and to our troops overseas. Proceeds from the sale of these items benefit the Kelly Rooney Foundation (www.kellyrooney.org), which inspires further support, research and eradication of the disease in young women, and pledges ongoing funds for breast cancer research surrounding high-risk women under the age of 40.
Save 2nd Base shirts attract attention for not only the product, but the story behind it. The inspiration behind this company is Kelly Rooney, a loving wife and mother of five young children from Wayne, Pa., who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2006 at age 43 without ever losing her sense of humor. Before she passed, Rooney designed the original Save 2nd Base t-shirt design for a cancer walk, representing a catchy but serious message – we can’t let cancer take away one’s sense of humor.
