Redskins' Alfred Morris to Be Honorary Chair at IIIB's Pink Tie Charity Ball

Alfred Morris named Honorary Chair of the Pink Tie Charity Ball that benefits the IIIB's Foundation; a Leesburg based non-profit providing support for women going through breast cancer.

The IIIB’s Foundation is thrilled to announce that Washington Redskin rookie running back, Alfred Morris (#46), will be the 2013 Honorary Chair of the “Third Annual Pink Tie Charity Ball” that benefits the IIIB’s Foundation; a Leesburg, Virginia based non-profit organization whose mission is to provide support for women throughout their journey with breast cancer.

“As a life-long Redskins fan, it’s been so electric to watch Alfred’s stunning performances on game-days this past season, and to cheer him and the Redskins onto victory!  When Alfred told us that he wanted to become involved with “The Pink Tie Charity Ball”, it was Amazing and we could not be happier!” said Carolyn Cole-Rodenburg, breast cancer survivor and Founder of the IIIB’s Foundation.

Alfred Morris broke two long standing Redskin records this past season and he now holds the records for the most rushing yards (1,613) and the most touchdowns (thirteen) in a season.
