// Toronto FC supports CBCF
The MLSE Team Up Foundation partnered with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to present Pink Ribbon Weekend – October 10th-11th, 2009.
The goal of Pink Ribbon Weekend was to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. By combining the efforts of all four MLSE teams - Maple Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC and Marlies - we expected to reach a much larger audience, boost fundraising potential and increase awareness of the partnership of CBCF and MLSE in the community. Wear pink to the game or watch at home. Help us create a future without breast cancer by bidding on exciting auction items.
Toronto FC players wore pink jerseys during the October 10, 2009 game vs. San Jose Earthquakes to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fans can show their support by purchasing a TFC pink jersey from Center Sports or at BMO Field on game day – 10% of every pink jersey sold will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. During the game Breast Cancer Foundation volunteers will offer ribbons to the fans, collect donations and provide information about the Foundation and the fight against breast cancer.
Sports fans from coast to coast can participate in Pink Ribbon Weekend by bidding on items from online auctions.
