“We are honored and humbled to partner with the Young Survival Coalition to bring awareness, raise funds and join the fight to combat the most common form of cancer among women in the United States,” UFC GYM President Adam Sedlack said. “We are all fighters and this is a perfect time for all UFC GYM members and guests to lend our support for this empowering organization.”

In addition to Saturday’s event, UFC GYM members and guests at each participating location can purchase pink ribbons throughout the month of October ($1 for children and $5 for adults) to showcase their continued support.
