Pink Sweatshirt Raffle (L)
October 24, 2019
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.
Make a difference! Spread the word about mammograms and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.
For both day and evening classes today, a pink Hunter sweatshirt is being raffled off. One ticket costs $1, but you can purchase six for $5.
According to the American Cancer Society, “Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control.
These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump.
“The tumor is malignant (cancer) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get breast cancer, too.
”
