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).
