Keep A Breast Foundation Partners with TLD at A3

Troy Lee Designs and The Keep A Breast Foundation will team up to raise awareness for breast cancer during Anaheim round 3 of AMA Supercross, where the Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda race team will wear Pink GP Air "Bolt" Gear and customized "Love / Hate" AIR helmets to commemorate the race. The campaign is part of a larger effort to dedicate the entire race to breast cancer awareness. Event organizers are asking fans and racers to show support by wearing pink on February 13. 

Keep A Breast and Troy Lee Designs have created beautifully designed breast casts with Supercross Announcers Erin Bates and Ashley Phillips, which will be on display at the Troy Lee Designs hospitality area at Anaheim 3, and will be auctioned off for the non-profit during an online auction starting Friday, February 12th through Thursday, February 25th. 

"When the opportunity came for us to work with the Keep A Breast Foundation, I was really excited about coming together to raise awareness about breast cancer and someday finding a cure," says Ashley Phillips. "Any contribution I can make to the research is worth it to me, even if it means getting wrapped in plaster from the waist up! My aunt was diagnosed five years ago, but it wasn't until one of my friends was diagnosed that I realized its impact on generations of women. Both my aunt and friend are now in full remission! I hope this experience and the entire day will bring more awareness of this disease within our sport." 

Keep A Breast, making their first appearance in the motocross world at this race, will also provide race fans with information about breast cancer prevention at the Troy Lee Designs hospitality area, where the Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda race team, (Wil Hahn, Cole Seely and Christian Craig) will also be on hand to show their support and sign autographs, along with top-ranked TLD sponsored Women's Motocross (WMX) rider Tarah Geiger. The team will be signing autographs from 2:50 to 3:30pm, pending any weather or schedule changes.
