Tanya Snyder, wife of Redskins owner Dan Snyder, and the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, hosted 31 breast cancer survivors as a part of the ninth annual All-Star Survivors Celebration in partnership with the American Cancer Society during the breast cancer awareness game on Sunday, Oct. 16.
Before the game, Mrs. Snyder hosted the survivors and their families for a pre-game tailgate party where she spoke with each individual survivor and shared words of encouragement. Before kickoff, the survivors were honored on the field and formed the tunnel for the Redskins player introductions.
“It’s a bittersweet moment, but I love what Tanya is doing with the American Cancer Society, it’s really awesome,” Chanda White, a breast cancer survivor from Hampton, Va.
