Bantamweight champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire has partnered with The Keep A Breast Foundation to raise breast cancer awareness as part of his October 22nd boxing showdown with Omar ?El Huracan? Narvaez at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. Donaire will adorn his typically stylish trunks and warm-up with pink highlights to heighten awareness of The Keep A Breast Foundation?s year round work and help call attention to breast cancer awareness during October, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
?It means a great deal to me to assist in this most worthy cause and to help raise awareness for young women about the importance of this issue. My wife Rachel and I discussed this and my upcoming fight is the perfect time to help The Keep A Breast Foundation,? said Donaire from his training camp in San Carlos, California.
?With the fight being on HBO this allows a larger scope of viewers to be aware of this most important cause. Going forward I want to assist different foundations across the country and continue to give back through my boxing career. It feels great to help out and give back through my participation.?
