Pressel took several steps to create awareness about the issue including her first Morgan & Friends Fight Cancer Tournament at St Andrews in 2008. But one of her most popular initiatives is the mobile mammography van, also called the Kathryn Krickstein Pressel ‘MammoVan‘.

Her team of supporters includes LPGA Tour professionals Lexi Thompson and Jessica Korda.
