ACS Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

From pink socks and hair bands to pink shirts and shoelaces, ACS students, faculty, and staff enthusiastically participated in Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Monday, October 29. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the ACS event helped raise awareness of the disease. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women and current trends indicate that about 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The fundraiser brought in $370 that will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. That’s nearly a 25% increase over last year’s total! Great job, everyone!
