Breast Cancer Awareness Week

-Michelle Skowronek



Starting this week Ithaca College celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness month. Today on the quad Ithaca College students set up an interesting exhibit to grab the campus' attention.

Bras, donated by female students,  were linked together on a laundry line. Posters displayed shocking facts in between each bra.  

Across from this scene was a strategically-placed life-size pink ribbon to represent breast cancer.  The symbol was set up with a domino effect of pink ribbons attached to sticks placed in the ground.

These surprising and carefully placed displays grabbed the attention of anyone who passed them.

The next event in the line up is the First Annual Knock Out Breast Cancer Tournament. The tourney is going on tomorrow, Oct. 21, at 5:30 p.m. in the Fitness Center.  All are welcome, even amateurs.  For registration, email cacithaca@gmail.com, sign up at the CAC table in Campus Center, or just show up before 5:30.  The event is free and expecting to have a big turnout.

Put up your dukes!
