10TV To Honor Heather Pick At Race For The Cure

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 3:03 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio — WBNS-10TV announced Tuesday that it is teaming up with Wolfe Associates, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Charles Penzone, Inc. to help carry on the legacy of Heather Pick, the 10TV morning and midday anchor who lost her public battle with breast cancer in November.

The collaboration will involve the creation of "Heather's Team" for Komen Columbus Race for the Cure, to be held May 16. Those who register to be part of "Heather's Team" will pay $45 and receive a T-shirt with Pick pictured on the front, a pink wig like the one she sported in her final public appearance shortly before her death. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts and wigs will go to Komen Columbus in her honor.

"Heather was a beloved icon and her passion and spirit will always live on in the hearts of all of us at 10TV and the central Ohio community," said 10TV President and General Manager Tom Griesdorn. "She worked tirelessly to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer and to communicate her message to viewers. As Central Ohio's News Leader, this is something she would have wanted and expected us to do. It's a way for us to help continue her fight."

Komen for the Cure. "Heather was an incredible advocate for breast cancer and we're proud to have worked with her on our mission of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever."
