Before the morning festivities began, former Redskins tight end and current radio personality Chris Cooley made a brief introduction to kick off the ninth annual All-Star Survivors Celebration.
“Let everyone take care of you,” he implored the 31 women sitting in the Redskins dining room, all of whom were in various stages battling breast cancer.
Moments later, that’s exactly what they did, splitting into five groups and rotating through pampering stations around the Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park. The survivors had opportunities to apply makeup, take home a new pair of Gap Jeans, receive a massage, try on a wig or head scarf and tour the facility.
