Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women. Each year, about 255,000 U.S. women develop some form of this disease, and more than 40,600 die from it. The good news is that breast cancer deaths are in decline, attributed to early detection and improved treatments. You can help us win the battle by promoting awareness of early detection and lifestyle changes.

We are now taking orders for sweatshirts for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We have a design for both the guys and the gals, which will be in pink on black sweatshirts. Just stop in SH103 to place your order. The crew neck sweatshirts are $15 each, and the hoodies are $20. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to a local breast cancer organization.
