The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Ovation Media and Irish singing sensation ‘Celtic Woman’ have entered into a landmark initiative to help raise awareness of the importance of research for the prevention and cure of breast cancer. In the coming months ‘Celtic Woman’, who are set to tour Australia in October and November, will participate in a series of National Breast Cancer Foundation activities including special performances from their hit album “Songs from the Heart”. Fresh from their successful US tour ‘Celtic Woman’ features the phenomenal vocalists Lisa, Lynn & Chloë, alongside the awe-inspiring Celtic violinist, Máiréad.

Sue Murray, CEO of the National Breast Cancer Foundation is delighted to welcome the girls to the joint initiative and hopes that through their music they will encourage women of all ages to be breast-aware and to support research. Research covers every aspect of breast cancer, from increasing understanding of genetics to improving ways to support women and their families. ‘Celtic Woman’ is excited to have the opportunity to be associated with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and to participate in the campaign to raise awareness for the need for essential funds for high quality research.

Ovation Media who is touring ‘Celtic Woman’ is proud to be associated with this initiative and is looking forward to long and fruitful association with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “The Celtic Woman show is a fantastic display of natural feminine power and these Irish girls are wonderful role models for women in Australia” said Gerry Travers, Managing Director, Ovation Media.

Scott Porter CEO of ‘Celtic Woman’ said “This is a cause which the girls are very passionate about and they are thrilled to have the opportunity to help make a difference”. With their widespread appeal and angelic voices, ‘Celtic Woman’ will be helping to spread the word on their upcoming Australian tour.
