Tonight’s volleyball game will be a PINK OUT for breast cancer awareness. Wear a pink shirt or be one of the first 130 spectators to get a FREE shirt at the door. The game starts at 6:30 p.m. when the Spartans will take on Southeast NE.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.
Thanks to the student housing office for organization of tonight’s Pink Out event!
