Serving the Greater Good With the WTA
Two Champions for Women Join Forces On and Off the Court
Hologic is the WTA’s official health partner and equality champion. Our organizations jointly amplify the message that women’s health is foundational to the well-being of families, communities and societies. In collaboration with current WTA legends and players, we inspire women to make their health a greater priority through preventive care.
ACEing Cancer Program
Hologic proudly supports ACEing Cancer, the WTA Charities’ first global philanthropic program supporting women’s health and wellness with a focus on women’s cancers. The program has three main objectives:
Raising awareness through public service announcements and player ambassadors.
Storytelling to share firsthand experiences.
Fundraising to support the fight against women’s cancers.
For every ace that players hit at 500- and 1000-level tournaments worldwide, Hologic makes a monetary donation to ACEing Cancer. Each year, these funds then support a new researcher and various nonprofit groups.
