Show Support For Breast Cancer Awareness Month With Products From Sport Chalet

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the perfect time to start giving back by joining the fight against breast cancer. For the month of October, premier specialty sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet encourages its athletes to show their support by sporting the latest in pink apparel and gear that provide proceeds to fund various breast cancer programs and research.

"Breast cancer can affect everyone, not just the person diagnosed. Co-survivors, including family, friends and co-workers can feel the effects, too," says Sport Chalet Expert Michelle Holt. "Sport Chalet is committed to making a difference for women and men battling breast cancer and bringing attention to the disease. This month, we are extremely proud to offer an extensive variety of products that raise awareness, and encourage athletes and fans to give back while participating in their favorite activities."

To show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Holt recommends the following gear for any activity:

• For the football fan: To transform "football Sunday" into "support Sunday," put away game day gear and wear a Nike Women's BCA Tri Blend V Tee to cheer for finding a cure and the winning team. At half time, take a break and toss around a Wilson NFL Pink Mini Football.
• For the water sports enthusiast: Head to the water with the Ocean Kayak Venus 11Fuchsia Pink. Finally a kayak for women who don't like the One Size Fits All. The Venus 11 is stable, easy to carry and donates directly back to the Breast Cancer Fund, so give back, get in and get paddling.
• For the tennis pro: Hop on the court with hope by using a Wilson Hope Lite Tennis Racket. With a Cushion-Aire grip for maximum absorption and a donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, tennis players can do their part by serving it up. The Wilson Hope 3 Pack Tennis Bag and the Wilson Hope Tennis Balls are perfect complements to the tennis racket.
• For the runner: Run free and fearless in an Under Armour Women's PIP Shadow Hat that protects the head by reflecting heat and IR rays and donates to UA Power In Pink®, a program that celebrates the women who use sports, fitness and an active lifestyle in their fight against breast cancer. Runners can keep the sweat out of their eyes to focus on the prize with the Nike BCA Swoosh Headband, which has a dedicated space for writing in names for those with breast cancer whom runners wish to support.
• For the golfer: Tee up in support with Pink Ribbon EverGolf Golfer's Hat Clip & Ball Markers to make a stand for breast cancer by marking up the course. The Wilson Hope 18 Golf Ball Pouch will help golfers hit the long drive while giving back to breast cancer as well.
