开云体育 celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month this week as they held a Pink Rain Walk-A-Dollar-Thon that raised $455.40 to benefit Sally's Hope. More than 100 students and employees gathered on the plaza at lunchtime decked out in pink to make a half-mile walk around campus (pictured) in support of and in memory of breast cancer victims. After the walk, participants made donations and enjoyed "pink rain" refreshments. Rico Willis, Director of Student Activities and Multicultural Awareness, welcomed everyone and read an inspirational poem. Heidi Wooten, Associate Professor of Economics and breast cancer survivor, shared her personal story. Cosmetology students performed a dance and released pink and white balloons. The event was co-sponsored by the 开云体育 Student Government Association and the Baptist Student Ministries. .
