Youngstown Orthopaedics YSU Football Promo
Benefits Cancer Society's Boardman Relay for Life
CANFIELD, Ohio (January 20, 2012) - Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates, the region's largest orthopedic surgery practice and a leading sports medicine provider, today presented a $3,000 donation to the American Cancer Society's Boardman Relay for Life as the result of a promotion it coordinated with Youngstown State University's football program.
As part of its "Doctor's Order" promotion, Youngstown Orthopaedic donated $300 for every time a YSU football player rushed for 100 yards or more in a game. During a successful season that saw the team improve on its 2010 record by three games, YSU backs eclipsed 100 yards on 10 occasions, including eight by leading rusher Jamaine Cook. Adaris Bellamy and Jordan Thompson each had one, 100-plus yard performance.
Beth White, director of specialty imaging and marketing services for Youngstown Orthopaedic, presented a check to American Cancer Society representative Danielle Procopio during the YSU's men's basketball game against Milwaukee.
"We're thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with YSU athletics, encouraged by its football team's accomplishments in 2011, and most of all proud to support the research efforts of the American Cancer Society through its local Relay for Life initiative," White said. "We look forward to sponsoring this program again next year."
Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates is the Youngstown area's largest orthopedic surgery practice, with nine certified orthopedic surgeons. In addition to hip replacements, knee replacements, spine surgery and many other forms of orthopedic surgery, the practice offers sports medicine, therapy and imaging services.
