Breast Cancer Awareness Walk Raises Nearly $900
The Cerritos College 17th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk raised awareness and
funds for breast cancer research and education on March 23.
With 52 participants, the walk generated $860 that will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
"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."
Public Affairs/Foundation had the most participants, and Library/Success Center had the most spirit. Additionally, Child Development raised and donated $311 by selling lemonade and cookies the week before. Financial Aid also raised $142.
Sponsored by the Cerritos College Health, Physical Education, Dance and Athletics Division, Student Health Services and Employee Development, the event is held every March as part of the College's celebration of the Women's History Month.
