GIRLS NIGHT OUT ALTOONA
WHO WE ARE
Our Roots
Girls Night Out began as a small "pay it forward" project by my boss at the American Red Cross. Taunia Oechslin, a breast cancer fighter who was diagnosed when she was 36, and succumbed to the disease on April 9, 2009 at the age of 39. It was her goal that every female be educated about breast cancer, understand the value of early detection, and receive proper treatment.
DeLeo Games, in collaboration with Pacemactic's charitable giving program, proudly supports the mission of Girls Night Out Altoona Inc., which focuses on funding breast cancer research, care services, and educational initiatives promoting mammograms and free screenings.

What an amazing day at Raystown Lake at the PA Striped Bass Association’s Annual Fish-For-A-Cure.
