Stefanie Spielman Fund For Breast Cancer Research
The Collegiate Cattlemens Club of Ohio State is a group of young ladies who are passionate about the beef industry. The club puts on many educational and promotion events about beef on the Ohio State University campus as well as around the state of Ohio. Another big community service project we are involved with is raising money for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. Last year we raised over a thousand dollars for cancer research and this year with your help we can raise even more. In order for the shirts to be made, we have to sell 50 of them, otherwise the money is refunded. The shirts are $20 plus $5 shipping. They are available in Youth XS- Adult 4XL. Thank you for supporting our cause!

Maddie Spielman Carries On Mother Stefanie’s Work
Being the child of central Ohios most recognizable figure in the fight against breast cancer was bound to bring about high expectations.
But Maddie Spielman is committed to continuing the legacy her mother, Stefanie Spielman, has created here in Columbus. She and her father, Chris, remain heavily involved with the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.
When my parents first founded the fund in 1998, they had an original goal to raise $250,000. Through incredible hard work and determination, I am proud to say we have raised over $20 million, Maddie says. There is no limit to what the power of people can do when united under a common cause.
Stefanie Spielman was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 and battled it five times before her death in 2009 at age 42. Her legacy lives on in her innumerable contributions to breast cancer research, including the establishment of the fund and the Stefanies Champions run, and through The Ohio State Universitys Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center, named for Stefanie for her years of support.
Before she passed, I promised my mom I would never use her death as an excuse for anything, but motivation for everything, Maddie says.
Maddie graduated from OSU in 2016. She co-hosts a sports radio show on 105.7 The Zone and a sports TV show through Time Warner Sports, and works in customer market insights for Bath and Body Works, but continues to make the fund a priority.

A Champion Lost: Stefanie Spielman Dies Of Cancer
Stefanie Spielman, whose public battle with breast cancer made her name synonymous with efforts to find a cure, died yesterday at her Upper Arlington home.
The mother of four and wife of former football star Chris Spielman was 42.
Spielman, who died at 6:16 p.m. with family members nearby, had battled cancer five times since 1998. All the while, she used her high profile to raise millions of dollars for the cause.
She established the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research after her initial diagnosis, considering it a life mission to raise money and awareness.
“I know there’s a reason God gave me breast cancer, and I’m supposed to do something with it,” she said that year.
As she shared her story throughout central Ohio, the fund accumulated more than $6.5 million for breast-cancer research, education and patient assistance at Ohio State University’s Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
The charity’s fundraisers include Stefanie’s Champions, an annual luncheon honoring six caregivers of Columbus-area cancer patients, as well as the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer, A Christmas To Cure Cancer and about 100 other community events.
In a statement last night, Chris Spielman — a former All-America linebacker at Ohio State, 10-year veteran of the National Football League and current sports broadcaster for WBNS radio and ESPN — expressed gratitude to the family’s supporters.
Before the diagnosis, she said, her life had been a fairy tale.
Dr Donaldson Donates $1393 To The Stefanie Spielman Fund For Breast Cancer Research
The Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research was started by the Spielman family when Stefanie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998. Both she and her husband, Chris Spielman, former football player for the Detroit Lions, started the foundation to increase awareness about the disease. Today, more than $8 million has been raised to support breast cancer patients and research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Think Pink To End Breast Cancer
Dear Patients,
The autumn season is full of football Friday nights, crunchy leaves, and pumpkin scented everything. Unfortunately, many people wont be able to enjoy these simple pleasures.
Rather than stressing over which fresh-off-the-rack sweater to wear to the community bonfire, victims of breast cancer are thinking about their next round of chemo treatment or radiation.
Breast cancer affects so many people in our community, which is why our practice is going the extra mile to make a difference. During the entire month of October, for every patient who requests pink bands for their braces, we will donate $5 to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. The Stefanie Spielman Fund at OSU helps further support breast cancer research and aids in finding a cure.
So many people each year are affected by breast cancer, and we wanted to find a way to contribute to the fight to find a cure. Not only are our doctors and staff motivated to make a difference, but we have loved seeing our patients rally for this amazing cause by requesting a pink smile. This involves the community at large, while supporting everyone affected by this destructive disease.
Wont you join us in the fight to end breast cancer by requesting a pink smile? Many of our patients, families, staff members, and friends have been deeply impacted by this disease and we feel privileged to help any way we can. So this October, I hope that when you visit our practice, you will Think Pink.
Warmest,

Background Story On The Stefanie Spielman Fund For Breast Cancer Research
Last week, we announced our community partnership with The Stefanie Spielman Fund to raise money for breast cancer research. With 10% of the proceeds from orders using promo CGCURE going to breast cancer research, we wanted to share with you the background story behind The Stefanie Spielman Fund so you would know more about the organization and cause you are helping out with your purchases.
Like us, Stefanie Spielman and her husband Chris are from Ohio! They were high school sweethearts and were married after graduating from Ohio State. Stefanie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 after she found a lemon-sized lump during a breast self-exam.
Stefanie was only 30 years old when she got the news from her doctor that she did indeed, have breast cancer. Family was and is the number one priority for the Spielmans so when Chris got the news, he decided to take a year off from football to stay home and care for his family. This brought the family a lot of national attention since Chris was a professional football player at the time. With the media attention and overwhelming support of well wishes they were receiving, Chris and Stefanie instantly knew there was more they could do to educate people about breast cancer and the importance of prevention.
Sadly, in November 2009, Stefanie lost her battle with cancer. However, she had a final message to the world, continue to fight!

A Few Ways We Have Helped
Education from the IBC Network Foundation, I think was truly part of me becoming, finally, NED through treatment.
Eva
When I was first diagnosed, they told me that they would never call me cured, but that it would just be called NED. Somehow within the past couple of years, its changed. They told me that after 7 years, they would consider me cured. Times are changing, things are changing. There is hope.
Chrisanne
having the knowledge and evidence based materials at my fingertips has really been beneficial in the steering of my treatment. My oncologist, my team, has been fantastic at following that evidence base, but actually knowing what I should be expecting and knowing how to advocate for myself has been the most important piece of my treatment plan and The IBC Network Foundation has really given me two legs to stand on when it comes to being in charge of my own treatment plan
Kristin
Im very appreciative of The IBC Network and Terry Arnold, and this whole community. We are truly better together. Its amazing to have a network of people to lean on.
Julie
The IBC Network Foundation made a huge difference for me. They helped me find the right treatment after the initial hospital did not want to do radiation and surgery since I was stage 4 already. I had surgery and radiation, finished in July 2019, and have been NED since.
