Buena Park, CA – On Thursday, March 19 the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) had three of their Divas join with Knott’s Berry Farm For The Cure to help in getting the word out about breast cancer awareness to help Susan G. Komen of Orange County.
The WWE is a national partner with Komen and Knott’s Berry Farm partners locally with Komen Orange County to help bring awareness to the disease but to also find a cure.
In attendance that afternoon were WWE Divas Cameron (Ariane Andrew), Eva Marie and announcer Lilian Garcia as they stopped on the road to Wrestlemania 31 which is being held this year at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. They had the opportunity to meet some of the survivors who were helped by Susan G. Komen in the Orange County area. (You can view interviews with the ladies below).
