Chandra Wilson (Dr. Bailey) & Tim Daly (Dr. Pete Wilder in Private Practice) have become ambassadors for the Lee National Denim Day.
Taken from the Nationa Denim Day site
Denim Day® is proud to have Chandra Wilson (Dr. Miranda Bailey of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy) and Tim Daly (Dr. Pete Wilder of ABC’s Private Practice) as our 2008 Lead Ambassadors. They’re two of the country’s hottest on-screen doctors, but in real life they both are happy to help fight breast cancer
Leading up to Denim Day, you will see Wilson and Daly appearing in print public service announcements and talking about their participation in various media interviews to help us spread the word nationwide. Our goal is to raise more money in 2008 than ever before and continue the important work of the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).
Wilson is excited to lend her voice to the campaign this year because cancer has deeply affected her family. Hear more about Chandra’s story.
“Six of the eight women in my immediate family have been affected by cancer,” said Wilson. “Being part of this campaign gives me a way to fight back—anything I can do to help protect my daughters from this experience is a cause I am honored to be a part of.”
Daly plays a unique role as a man speaking out for what is often considered a women’s disease. Hear more about Tim’s story.
“As a son, husband and father, the fight against breast cancer is no less important to me than it is to the women in my life that I love dearly and the thousands across this country who fight this disease every year.”
Together, they are helping us fight back against this disease in honor of their loved ones. We thank them for their time and commitment and are hopeful that together we can make this the biggest Denim Day yet.
