October is breast cancer awareness month. Early detection saves lives!

Please join the College of Arts and Letters in a month-long effort involving fun and fundraising! All proceeds support patients in the Michiana area through United Health Services

With this funding, United Health Services provides clinical breast exams, mammograms and diagnostic services for women in St. Joseph County who do not qualify for the state Breast and Cervical Cancer program. 

Proceeds are also used for support services including gas, grocery, and pharmacy gift cards for women who have breast cancer and are income eligible.

This is our 23rd year! Over $156,000 has been raised for United Health Services over the years. 

Please mark your calendar for the following events!

October 1 to October 31,  Wear jeans all of October!

You can still support the cause by bringing $20 (cash or check made out to United Health Services) to the front desk of the dean's office at 100 O'Shaughnessy.
