Nike Golf
athletes use Livestrong bags in RBC Canadian
Open

As Lance Armstrong rides to raise
awareness for LIVESTRONG at the Tour de France, three Nike Golf
athletes will be using LIVESTRONG bags at the RBC Canadian Open to
show their support.
Caddies for Paul Casey, Trevor
Immelman and Carl Pettersson will carry the bags during the PGA Tour
event this week at St. George's in Toronto.
As part of a line of LIVESTRONG footwear,
apparel and accessories, a LIVESTRONG carry golf bag will be
available at Forzani Group stores across Canada such as Sport Chek,
Nevada Bob's on March 1, 2011. "Lance's return to cycling drew
the eyes of the world to the fight against cancer and Nike's support
is allowing us to spread the message of hope and perseverance to new
markets all over the world," said Doug Ulman, president and CEO of
the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Since 2004 Nike has helped raise more than US$80 million for
LIVESTRONG in the help fight cancer. It started with the yellow
LIVESTRONG wristbands that debuted in 2004, with more than 70
million wristbands distributed to date, and continues with the
LIVESTRONG collection of footwear and apparel.
