Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at SkyVision Centers we are doing our part! For every new pair of glasses that are purchased in our Optical Department this month we will donate $5.00 to the "Feel Your Boobies Foundation."

"My wife's cousin Leigh is a breast cancer survivor," said Dr. White. "She had bilateral cancers in her early 30's and has survived with the help of surgery and chemo. She has made it her life's goal to make young women aware of the importance of early and frequent self-examination."

The Feel Your Boobies Foundation is headquartered in Pennsylvania. Leigh and her staff travel all over the U.S. bringing their message to girls in high school and college. Their approach is very direct and edgy, just the kind of thing that will get the attention of young women. The White family has been strongly supporting them for years. In fact, Dan and Randy White celebrated the 1st Anniversary of their fitness center Comet CrossFit with a benfit for Feel Your Boobies!

So come on in and check out the fantastic selection of frames and lenses at the SkyVision Centers Optical, and tune in to the news on Channel 19 tonight in Cleveland to see if we made the cut for tonight's news program. You can learn more about Feel Your Boobies at www.feelyourboobies.com, or search for Feel Your Boobies on Facebook.

Help us support this worthy cause in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Congrats to Comet CrossFit

Has it been a year already? Wow, how fast has that gone?! Comet CrossFit, the family fitness center owned by Dr. White's sons is one year old. Randy and Dan White are the owner-trainers at Comet Crossfit in Amherst and this weekend marks their one-year Anniversary.

"I couldn't be prouder of the boys," said Dr. White. "They've been making their clients more fit, healthier, and just plain better at life! CrossFit is powerful stuff, and Randy and Dan have been doing a great job as trainers."

CrossFit Gyms traditionally mark significant milestones with charitable events, and Comet CrossFit is no different. Tomorrow Comet and all of its members will celebrate their Anniversary with a benefit workout of the day, or WOD, in support for the "Feel Your Boobies Foundation." Feel Your Boobies is an organization devoted to raising awareness of the benefits of breast self-exams in young women. FYB was founded by Beth White's cousin, herself a victim of breast cancer.

Dan White: "We couldn't be prouder of Mom's cousin Leigh and what she's done. We've been planning this for months." Randy White adds "anyone can donate to this great organization, and we'd really love to see all kinds of people come out and join us for our event!" The festivities will include a barbecue and party at the gym in Amherst.

Congrats to the White boys and Comet CrossFit from all of us at SkyVision Centers!
