Newsbrief: Gunn supports cancer cause
Published on November 7, 2006 in Volume 43, Issue 3

The Pink Ribbon Club held a fundraiser on the quad during lunch on Oct. 30, to raise awareness for breast cancer. Two tables were set up at the event selling balloons and breast cancer goodie bags. The balloons were for people to write down memories they had of a breast cancer survivor. Originally, the balloons were supposed to be released at the same time, but because it posed an environmental hazard, they were popped instead. “During this week, we will hopefully let everyone know that breast cancer exists,” senior Jennifer Lien said. “In our goodie bags, we want to add little facts about breast cancer so everyone can learn something new.”

The club has already held and participated in a variety of events such as the Race for the Cure and San Francisco Komen Race for the Cure. They are planning to raise more money and awareness in Gunn and Palo Alto and host bigger events such as a fundraising dinner or concert.
