  • In 1997 I lost my wife Patricia to breast cancer. She was only 43 and left behind our daughters Colleen, who was 9, and Kristen, who was 7. It was a terrible experience to go through alone. We made a decision to support Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center so that others might not have to lose a loved one, family member, or friend to breast cancer. Thanks to Mitch, Russ, and the staff at MG2, which has generously taken on the cause for almost 20 years.

    Your donation will go to help women in need of mammograms and treatment. Most importantly it will fund research to end this terrible disease. Please join us by generously donating to help save lives. Thank you!

  • “I lost a very close friend to breast cancer at the tender age of 34. She left behind a husband and two small children, ages 3 and 5. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her, and I miss her so much.” Continue reading story

  • Even in these trying times of COVID-19, breast cancer doesn’t social distance. It has no boundaries of who it affects; our mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters, children, and friends. Breast cancer is relentless, affecting the lives of those we love and cherish.

    I lost a very close friend to breast cancer at the tender age of 34. She left behind a husband and two small children, ages 3 and 5. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her, and I miss her so much.

    Today, I hope you will consider donating to Fred Hutch. With your support, we can help continue the fight by providing mammograms and resources, and continue testing to one day, find a cure for this terrible disease.

    Thank you so much!

  • Being a Swing for the Cure volunteer for many years, I have seen how passionate MG2 and friends are about supporting early detection, treatment, education, and finding a cure for breast cancer.

    Everyone I know has been affected by this disease in some form or fashion. They either know someone who has battled, possibly still battling, or even someone that has lost the battle to this terrible disease.

    But I also know individuals that have beat it! And to me, that is a true reflection of how our dollars are helping and how the treatments are working, so for those reasons, I hope you will support.

    Although I’ll miss seeing your faces and your embracing hugs, I look forward to connecting with you virtually, because even during these uncertain times, the fight must go on! And together, we can still make a difference!

  • It has been a privilege and special experience being associated with the Swing for the Cure event every year since its inception. It is more than a golf tournament and fund-raising event. It highlights the need to provide funding for life-saving detection and treatment.

    The dedication of Jerry and Char to this important purpose has inspired me and many others from across the country and beyond to support the event with our time, talents, and resources. The entire MG2 team is engaged every year to ensure its success.

    It truly is a blessing to be involved in this worthy cause.

  • At SEI we are proud to be able to support the MG2 Swing for the Cure. In fact, SEI has consistently contributed to MG2 Swing for the Cure for the past several years, and here is why…about 1 in 8 US women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. Until ZERO women are affected by breast cancer SEI will continue to give to further the fight against this disease. Not only does breast cancer affect the patient but the patient’s family and friends as well. Many employees at SEI have been affected by breast cancer if not directly then indirectly. So, we see that as even more of a reason to support the MG2 Swing for the Cure. Breast cancer research has come a long way and the survival rate of this horrible disease has increased over the past twenty years, but there is still work to be done. SEI will continue to support and help fund the research for breast cancer until the day the disease is eradicated.

  • Every year I look forward to volunteering for our annual Swing for the Cure golf tournament. Not only is it a fun day spent with friends, colleagues, and partners, but it’s one of many ways MG2 gives back to our communities and cares for those in need. Every one of us has been affected by breast cancer in some way; I’ve had friends and coworkers who’ve fought this terrible disease. Some have beaten it, while others have lost the battle. But cancer doesn’t discriminate, and no one should have to lose a friend or loved one to it again.

    Join us in supporting the search for a cure. Your generous donations are so important to the life-saving work that Fred Hutch does. You’re funding treatment, education, and support for women in need here in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the groundbreaking cancer research that helps millions around the world. This event and supporting the cause are so important to us, and I hope you’ll stand with us as we do our part in the fight against breast cancer!
