Jerome “The Bus” Bettis, Football Hall of Famer and BCRF Board
Member, will join fuboTV’s effort to raise awareness of the
critical need for breast cancer research. Throughout September, the
company will air promotional spots featuring Bettis to announce the
partnership, as well as PSAs that will encourage viewers to donate
directly to BCRF. Both the promo spots and the PSA were produced by
fuboTV’s Fubo Sports Network.
“Thanks to research, I still have my biggest fan—my mom. I’m
proud to support the lifesaving research funded by the Breast
Cancer Research Foundation and thrilled that fuboTV is joining the
BCRF family,” said Bettis.
Additionally, during the month of September, fuboTV will donate
$1.00 from every subscription of its Sports Plus add-on channel
package to BCRF. An add-on for fuboTV subscribers who want even
more sports, Sports Plus offers top NCAA games, NFL RedZone from
NFL Network, and more premium channels covering a variety of
sports.
“Breast cancer is a disease that has unfortunately touched all
of us,” said fuboTV’s Senior Vice President, Marketing Yale Wang.
“Progress depends on investing in the world’s best scientists to
attack the disease from all angles. That’s why we’re supporting
BCRF in their mission to end breast cancer by advancing the world’s
most promising research.”
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer worldwide,
surpassing lung cancer for the first time in 2020. About one in
eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast
cancer during their lifetime. With 275 researchers across five
continents, BCRF has been deeply involved in every major
breakthrough in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and
survivorship.
“Even as breast cancer cases around the world are on the rise,
research funding is on the decline,” said BCRF President and CEO
Myra Biblowit. “By partnering with BCRF, fuboTV is supporting
groundbreaking, lifesaving science—ensuring that research funded
today is there for our loved ones tomorrow. Together, we will bring
the end of breast cancer into focus.”
