Fairway Outdoor Advertising Donates to Hoops for Hope

January 30, 2008

Fairway Outdoor Advertising has donated an advertising package worth $13,500 to Hoops for Hope, an affiliate event for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The announcement was made today by Paul Hickman, general manager of Fairway. The two rotary billboard bulletins began running in Raleigh last month.

Fairway has been a sponsor of Hoops for Hope, an event which raises awareness for breast cancer, since its conception three years ago.

"We are thrilled to once again be associated with this worthy cause," said Hickman. "So many people in the community have been impacted in some way by breast cancer and this event is a wonderful way to work towards finding a cure."

Hoops for Hope is a joint venture between North Carolina State, Wolfpack Sports Marketing and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. For every $10 ticket sold to that day's women's basketball game $5 goes to the Komen Foundation. Last year more than 8,000 fans attended raising more than $45,000 for breast cancer research.

This year's event will take place on Feb. 10 in Reynolds Coliseum. To purchase tickets visit www.gopack.com.
