The Cerritos College 16th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk raised awareness and
funds for breast cancer research and education on March 31.

"I can't thank you enough for amazing years of support for our Foundation and for the great cause," said the guest speaker Linda Pura, of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
"Through the Walk, we hope to raise awareness about the disease," said Dr. Ni Bueno, assistant professor, Fitness. "It is also a great way to celebrate women on campus who have successfully won their battles against breast cancer."
