Color the Northeast Texas Community College Campus PINK
Breast Cancer Awareness Week October 14-18, 2019
Here are some very creative and fun ways that the NTCC family can support Breast Cancer Awareness. Join us in the fight to find a cure. The first step in fighting the battle is showing that you care. SHOW YOU CARE, BE AWARE!
v Tie a pink ribbon to your car antenna.
v Tie pink ribbons on the branches of a small tree in the campus plaza.
v Decorate your office door with pink fall mums.
v Paint a pumpkin pink and place them around the campus plaza.
v Make cupcakes or cookies, decorate them with pink icing then share them with students and your colleagues.
v Participate in a cancer walk or fundraiser. Pink Rain Walk-A-Dollar-THON Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 Time: 12:25-1:25 p.m. Start Location: The Student Services Center
v Invest in and pass out pink bracelets. Give them to members of the NTCC campus community.
v Make encouragement cards to take to our local cancer treatment center. Ask the staff to pass them along to patients receiving chemotherapy.
v Volunteer! Check with your local cancer treatment center about volunteer opportunities. Perhaps you can provide transportation for a chemotherapy patient.
v Change your profile picture on Facebook or other social networking sites with a pic of pink ribbons in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
v Share links to blogs and articles about breast cancer on your Twitter and Facebook accounts.
v Put a streak of pink in your hair. If you don't want to go permanent, many fashion and jewelry stores have hair adornments that would service the purpose and would look like a streak of pink hair. It would probably even get enough attention that a few people might ask you why you have pink in your hair and you could tell them.
v Make an appointment with your family physician to find out about getting a mammogram for yourself. Fighting breast cancer and raising awareness about this disease starts with taking care of you and your health.
