September 23, 2006
“Vas o No Vas” (Deal or No Deal), Telemundo’s new hit game show, airing Sundays at 9PM/8c, joins Warriors in Pink – Powered by Ford, to lead the battle against breast cancer by dedicating the October 22 episode to this cause.
During the show, the beautiful “Bomboletz” will be seen wearing the Warriors in Pink Bandanas, showing their support to breast cancer awareness.
Also joining the campaign is the show’s host, Héctor Sandarti, who participated as the spokesman on Warriors in Pink Public Service Announcement (PSA), which aims to urge Hispanic women to get examined regularly.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Hispanic women and the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women as well. Hispanic women tend to seek and attain health services less than other ethnic groups, which is why Ford has taken the initiative to help educate the Hispanic community through Warriors in Pink. Telemundo’s Vas o No Vas is pleased to be part of this important effort.
