MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers and Aurora Health Care partnered for a Mother's Day "Pink Out" on Sunday, May 12.
Fans, survivors and families came together at American Family Field to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early mammogram screenings. Nancy Bonesho, whose cancer battle FOX6 shared in December, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
The Pink Out at American Family Field was the second of two Mother's Day weekend events the Brewers and Aurora Health Care planned. On Friday, pitcher Hoby Milner visited patients at Aurora Women's Pavilion in West Allis.
