To recognize the warriors making a stand against breast cancer, your Neighborhood Ford Store has again partnered with the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure^® for our Warrior Quilt Project.

Warrior Quilts are comprised of patches honoring survivors, remembering those who have passed, and providing messages of encouragement to those battling the disease. They remind us how breast cancer affects so many, while symbolizing the effort to defeat it.

This year we collected nearly 3,000 patches from community groups, individuals and participants of the 2010 Race for the Cure! Our many wonderful volunteer quilters are hard at work piecing together the decorated patches to create our beautiful warrior quilts.

In October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many of the completed quilts will be donated to local cancer clinics and hospitals, and a few will be raffled off to those who enter below for the chance to win. Check back for pictures of this year’s completed quilts and learn more about where the quilts will be hung.
