Breast Cancer Walk-A-Thon
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about steps we can take to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society lead the fight against this disease with groundbreaking breast cancer research, information and support 24-7, and access to mammograms for women who need them. Every step you take is personal, and together we are helping to finish the fight against breast cancer.

Red Cross Blood Drive,
Marcus Foster Auditorium, 10:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
You don’t need a special reason to give blood.
You just need your own reason.
-
Some of us give blood because we were asked by a friend.
-
Some know that a family member or a friend might need blood some day.
-
Some believe it is the right thing we do.
Whatever your reason, the need is constant and your contribution is important for a healthy and reliable blood supply. And you’ll feel good knowing you've helped change a life.
