Cerritos College to Host 13th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk March 21

The event helps educate men and women about breast cancer while also celebrating the survivors of the disease.

Today is the deadline to register for the 13th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk taking place at Cerritos College on March 21.

The annual walk serves to raise awareness about the breast cancer and to celebrate survivors of the disease. A rep from Susan G. Komen for the Cure will speak at the event.

Everyone is welcomed to attend and walk the course. Special prizes will be awarded to the three highest donors, and a spirit award will be presented to the division/group with the most participants (faculty and students).

All monies raised from the event will benefit people who cannot afford a mammogram.

"Last year due to this fundraiser ten people were able to get a mammogram," said Debbie Thomas of the Staff Development Department.

Pre-Register by 6 p.m. March 20

Pre-registration for the walk is encouraged and appreciated. Please download a flier and a pre-registration form, which should be completed and returned to the Physical Education Department by 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20.

When it comes to the FREE newspaper (or anything else that's free) -- the old saying applies: YouRead More get what you pay for.

To call this "rag" a newspaper is a joke. They only put partial truths, always sided to aRead More covert friend of the writer and never have done the background investigation to be able to establish validity!
