AT&T Shares 2009 NCAA Women's College World Series with American Cancer Society and Boys & Girls Club
Cancer Survivors Honored and Local Youth Learn About Teamwork during the Games.
The best of the best in college softball will soon take the field in Oklahoma City. The 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s College World Series championship games run June 1 through June 3 at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium, and AT&T* and the NCAA will be sharing the games with the American Cancer Society and The Oklahoma City Boys & Girls Club.
The opening game will be televised live June 1 on ESPN2 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern; and, thanks to AT&T and the NCAA, the ceremonial first pitch will also be thrown by a local cancer survivor. In support of the American Cancer Society’s “Strike Out Cancer” initiative, AT&T and the NCAA are also recognizing 25 cancer survivors during the opening game.
Extending the value of teamwork and perseverance to local teens, AT&T is also hosting 10 youth from a local Oklahoma City Boys & Girls Club at the championship games. Attending teens will enjoy the games and a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium.
“At AT&T, we work hard to connect fans with the sports and teams they love through our sponsorships,” said Tim McGhee, executive director, AT&T corporate sponsorships. “In addition to celebrating some of our favorite hard-working teams, these games and events also provide great opportunities to share the value of teamwork and leadership with youth—and to salute and celebrate local heroes. We’re glad to extend these events to The Boys & Girls Club — and the many cancer survivors who will be with us this week to help Strike Out Cancer.”
