Breast Cancer Awareness Month

By Candice Norell and Kim Riley
Sports Editor and Guest Writer

On Oct. 17-19, Colleges Against Cancer will be selling t-shirts in the Toner Student Center. Last year’s t-shirts will be sold for $5, and this year’s t-shirts will be sold for $8-10.

Cupcakes will also be sold at $1 each. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society to help find a cure.

In support of breast cancer awareness, Oct. 18 is “Wear Your Pink Day” CAC urges SMU to wear pink.

Also, save the date for this years’ Relay For Life, which for the first time, will be held at Saint Mary’s University instead of Winona State University on April 19-20, 2008.

The theme for Relay For Life is “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back!” Participants will be celebrating lives that have been touched by cancer, remembering those who lost their battle against cancer, and fighting back so the words “You have cancer” will never be heard again.

SMU’s chapter of CAC has a goal of raising $26,000 and is aiming for two-thirds of campus involvement.

Students would want to become involved in this great cause can contact Kim Riley at kkrile05@smumn.edu or Christie Brunette at clbrun04@smumn.edu.
