With Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaching quickly, Sprint PCS will be on hand at the 7th Annual Harvest Moon Classic offering a free phone call to anywhere in the country, to participants and spectators at the 10K run and 5K walk through downtown Washington, D.C.

"The Harvest Moon Classic brings thousands of people together for one cause--the fight against breast cancer. We're pleased to be a part of this event and feel strongly about the importance of the service provided by the GWU Breast Care Center's mobile mammography  program," said Brian McIntee, area vice president for Sprint PCS.

The 7th Annual Harvest Moon Classic, held on Sunday, September 27, 1998, begins at 8 a.m. at the George Washington University Smith Center for Athletics, 600 22nd Street, NW. Participants can register as late as the morning of the event beginning at 6:45 a.m., and will compete for numerous awards, including the chance to win a roundtrip airline ticket. Additional information is available by calling [phone].

The race, organized by the George Washington University Breast Care Center, is to benefit breast cancer research and education and the GW Mammovan, which provides mobile screening mammography to working and underserved women throughout Greater Washington.

Sprint PCS' involvement in this local event compliments the company's multi-million dollar partnership with Samsung Telecommunications America on "Speak Out," a national program benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation and dedicated to promoting breast cancer awareness.

In addition, Sprint PCS and Samsung will provide phones and Sprint PCS all-digital wireless service for a national community outreach program that partners breast cancer survivors with underprivileged women who were recently diagnosed with the disease.

Susan Braun, president and chief executive officer of the Komen Foundation, noted that, "The program sponsored by Samsung and Sprint PCS will call people to action with a message that could save their lives."

Sprint PCS' McIntee agrees. "It's critical that we get the word out about this vital health issue. With this program, we want to communicate the importance of early detection, aid support services  for those affected by breast cancer and fund cutting-edge research to fight breast cancer."
