SCORING FOR THE CURE

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Save 2nd Base—the organization established by Erin Dugery and Kelly Day in memory of their sister and friend Kelly Rooney—has launched a line of namesake T-shirts. Rooney, who died from the disease last year at 43, leaving behind a husband and five children, was given a 2006 Courage and Inspiration Award by the Women’s Board of the American Cancer Society. “Kelly refused to let cancer take away her sense of humor,” says Dugery. She fell in love with the Save 2nd Base idea when the three women were selecting their team name for last year’s Breast Cancer 3-Day 60-mile walk. Available at save2ndbase.com, the T-shirts, which come in three colors, are sassy and fun while still delivering a serious message. Fifty percent of the proceeds benefit the Kelly Rooney Foundation, which was established to inspire further support, research, and eradication of the disease in young women.
