Through the end of October, Cochise College athletes are collecting donations in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Donations toward “Coins for Cancer” can be placed in any of the many hot pink donation jars located throughout the Douglas Campus. Paper money is accepted there, too.
You can also ask an Apache player for more information, or contact Meganne Gourley, head athletic trainer, by email at gourleym@cochise.edu, by phone at 417-4124, or at the athletics office at the Douglas Campus.
All donations will go to the Southern Arizona affiliate of Susan G. Koman for the Cure. Checks should be made out to Komen SAZ.
Each year, about 207,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will occur among women in the U.S. – and about 2,000 new cases among men.
