Tomorrow is "Pink Out Day".
In the midst of the pink celebrations and deeply hidden in the money that pink ribbons bring to both legitimate organizations and unsavory “pinkwashers”, tomorrow is a single day that marks the deadly reality of breast cancer.
We will wear pink, raise money, and help make life-saving research and life-changing care happen.
We will make our presentation to our community 'survivor' at our Annual Pep Rally at 2:30 PM. Will you join us?
Tomorrow is "Every Cancer is Unique, Support the Cancer of Your Choice". If you or someone you know has cancer, you're probably familiar with the colored ribbons associated with the many forms of the disease. These ribbons help fundraising campaigns and heighten awareness. They've become so common that more than 30 cancers have staked claim to a specific color -- or multiple ones. Some colors represent more than one form of the disease.
Pick Your Color
Breast cancer: Pink
Leukemia: Orange
Prostate cancer: Light blue
Lung cancer: Pearl or white
Kidney cancer: Orange
Brain cancer: Gray
Pancreatic cancer: Purple
Colorectal cancer: Blue
There are many, many more. Please choose your color and help us create a rainbow.

Tomorrow is "Hats off to Cancer". As you know, many people lose their hair when fighting cancer. Our focus for the day is to brighten the day of survivors, by showing our support, as we join in their fight.
Everyone is asked to contribute $1 to the "Change for Cure" donation fund and wear the hats tomorrow.
