On December 13, 2014, The DeAngelo Williams Foundation will begin an annual event entitled “53 Strong For Sandra,” that will sponsor 53 women to have mammography screenings and follow-up care for selected individuals who are low-income, under-insured, or uninsured in the Charlotte community. Charlotte Radiology will have their Mobile Breast Center on-site at Bank of America stadium to provide the screenings and the participants will be taken care of further if an issue is identified at the event that day and additional exams or a biopsy is necessary. DeAngelo Williams chose to sponsor 53 women annually when his mother, Sandra Hill, passed away in May from metastatic breast cancer, breast cancer that ultimately traveled to her liver and became terminal. Prior to his mother passing, Williams had four aunts that lost their battles with breast cancer, all before the age of 50. Sandra had just turned 53 years old the week before losing her battle and had stated that she felt like she had stolen three years of life. Williams saw 53 as a significant number to commemorate the legacy of his mother’s life. Simultaneous to the sponsored screenings, The DeAngelo Williams Foundation will also have a fundraiser at Bank of America stadium. The Wine Palette will host three painting sessions for registered individuals to paint a specially designed PINK Christmas portrait. The cost of the event is $50 and individuals can register at The Wine Palette website or at thewinepalettenc/calendar/december/299-53-strong-for-sandra-the-deangelo-williams-foundation-paint-panther-stadium Fifty percent of the ticket price will benefit The DeAngelo Williams Foundation.
