Women’s Center and Strong House
Breast Cancer Walk at Vassar
Sunday, April 13, 2008
10:00am – 12:00pm
The Women’s Center and Strong House are collaborating to sponsor a Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday, April 13 (Parents Weekend) from 10:00am – 12:00pm. All proceeds from this walk will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a nonprofit organization that supports breast cancer research, treatment, and education. The walk is a leisurely 3-mile stroll of Vassar’s campus. It will begin and end at Strong House and is baby carriage and pet friendly.
To participate in the walk we are asking for a donation of $5.00. For a donation of $10.00 or more receive a t-shirt—light pink, with a hot pink ribbon print—and pink wristband. (T-shirts and wristbands are limited to the first 100 to give a $10.00 or more donation.)
Sign up for the walk doesn’t have to be done ahead of time, but please consider signing up in advance. To pre-register for the walk, the Women’s Center and Strong House will table in the College Center on March 28th, April 2nd, 3rd, and 9th. Cash or checks are acceptable. Checks should be made out to: Susan G. Komen for the Cure. If you’d like to make a contribution, but are unable to attend the walk, donations and sponsorships are welcomed. 100% of your donation will be sent to Susan G. Komen for the Cure (http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm).
You can also pre-register yourself and/or parents by emailing Jennifer Bagneris ’09 and Ilena Robbins ’09, Campus Life/Women’s Center Interns, at womenscenter@vassar.edu. Please include the number of people you are registering, the names of the walkers, and specify the donation amount for each walker.
