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.

“We couldn’t ask for a better partner to champion women’s health.”

“We are grateful for Hologic’s support of ACEing Cancer and because of it, we will be able to expand our ability to help women around the world.”
Ann Austin, WTA, Vice President of Community Development and Charitable Programs
