Our Story

Save 2nd Base” is a unique and humorous
phrase to support the fight against Breast
Cancer. A play on words of the old baseball
euphemism is now synonymous with a battle
cry heard ‘round the globe!
The shirts were
worn during the 2005 Breast Cancer
Philadelphia 3-Day Walk. Our group got such
an enthusiastic response from our fellow
walkers, we decided to make more shirts for
others to enjoy. It’s fun to see someone
look at the baseballs, read the phrase and
finally get the joke.
Breast cancer is
no laughing matter, but since we have lost
so many wonderful women (and men) to this
disease we decided to fight it with humor.
Please wear your
shirt with pride. As you spread
awareness, enjoy the smiles these t-shirts
create for those who see it.
Our Inspiration
Kelly Rooney was a loving wife and mother of
five young children. Rooney was Save 2nd
Base’s co-founders, Erin Dugery and Kelly
Day’s sister and friend, respectively.
Kelly
battled breast cancer for three years, and
underwent countless surgeries, rounds of
chemo, and radiation. Despite her challenges
and obstacles, she knew cancer couldn’t take
away laughter.
Kel was funny.
She had a quick wit, loud laugh, and
endearing wink. She taught those
around her to “lighten up.”
Kelly was
mischievous…she was no saint and never set
out to be. She was utterly human, with a
big, giant heart.
Kelly passed
away on July 11, 2006 at the age of 43.
Through her memory, she continues to be the
creator of the smiles that are provided by
these t-shirts.
50% of all profits benefit the
Kelly Rooney Foundation. Thanks for your
support!
