October: Breast Cancer Awareness

Supporting the cause

Project Type: Fundraiser, Virtual Event, Social Media Campaign

Hour Opportunities Available: Yes, visit "Hours" page for details

​Details: ​October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In order to show our support, we have decided to make this our social media theme for the week of October 12th through 25th. To participate, we ask that our members deck out in pink. The more pink, the better!! For details on how to submit photos, visit our "Visuals" page. In addition to posting on our platforms, we will be participating in a Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Virtual Walk. The virtual walk will be held on October 17th. The opening ceremony is from 9:00am to 9:30am. You do not need to participate to donate, but it is highly encouraged and you will receive half an hour for doing so. Since this event also allows us the opportunity to donate to the cause, we have provided instructions below on how to do so for both members and other individuals donating on behalf of members. Please keep in mind that donations for this event must be received by November 17th.
