Students Raise Money for Breast Cancer Awareness
Earlier this month, female students from both the 1st and 2nd year PT classes had pink feathers braided into their hair to raise awareness of breast cancer and raise money for breast cancer research.
The girls all paid $10 per feather. A local hair dresser donated a few hours of her time to come to campus and put the feathers in. About 40 girls participated from the 1st and 2nd year PT classes and they raised $430 in donations.
The money was given to Susan G Komen, an organization that provides education about early detection of breast cancer, supports groups for those fighting and, most importantly, funds research for finding a cure.
Although it was only a one day fundraiser, the feathers will be worn for the month of October in honor of those who have lost their fight with with breast cancer, those who are still fighting, and those who have defeated breast cancer.
