In support of the breast cancer
awareness, the Legacy Torch Club
will be hosting a fundraiser to help
raise funds for the American Breast
Cancer Association. Torch Club
members made pink ribbons to sell
for $1.00 and their sales proceeds
will be donated on their behalf.
“The ribbons are super cute and are
for a good cause” said Torch Club
member Christy Gonzalez. Torch
club is a leadership group for youth
ages 11-13.
October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month—a time to
promote regular mammograms and
increase early detection of breast
cancer. About 1 in 8 women in the
United States will get breast cancer.
Other than skin cancer, breast
cancer is the most common kind of
cancer in women. Mammograms
can help find breast cancer early
when there is the best chance for
treatment.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
breast cancer is the number one
cause of cancer death in Hispanic
women. It is the second most
common cause of cancer death in
White, Black, Asian/Pacific
Islander, and American
Indian/Alaska Native women.
