Dozens of breast cancer survivors, fighters and family members from across Illinois, flanked by clinicians involved in their care, attended #PinkOut the United Center on October 10th when the Chicago Bulls played the Indiana Pacers. This is the sixth consecutive year that Advocate Health Care and the Chicago Bulls joined together to promote breast cancer awareness and honored those impacted by the disease, which one in eight women will develop during her lifetime. Breast cancer fighters and survivors served as honorary captain, dished out High-Fives to Bulls players as they exited the locker room, and formed a pink ribbon on the United Center court. Dr. Heidi Memmel, breast surgeon with Advocate and a breast cancer survivor herself, served as game ball presenter, while Advocate physician Dr. Andrew Van Bergen will sing the national anthem. Fans entering the stadium received pink LED bracelets. Bulls ambassadors, broadcasters, coaches and members of Bulls Entertainment incorporated pink into their wardrobes, as did Benny the Bull and the Luvabulls. The United Center and Advocate Center also incorporated pink lighting elements and signage.
