Washburn Student Government Association Supports Breast Cancer Survivors

Topeka, KS: Today, Washburn Student Government Association (WSGA) would like to take the time to recognize and stand with survivors, and those still currently afflicted with the horrible disease known as breast cancer. Though October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize the daily fight that these brave people face day in and day out.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and it is one of the leading cancer killers in women. Though typically associated with women, many men will also battle breast cancer. An estimated 2,470 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 460 will die each year.

The Washburn Student Government Association stands with survivors of breast cancer. To best illustrate our dedication to promoting an environment of solidarity with these survivors, many things will be done. The first is our immediate press release (i.e. this document). The second will be the illumination of Khuene Bell Tower on Washburn University’s campus from October 3rd through October 31st. Finally, the Washburn Student Government Association will encourage students, faculty, staff and the WSGA Senate to wear pink on Wednesday, October 17th.

About WSGA: Washburn Student Government Organization is a volunteer student government aimed at making improvements that represent the needs and wants of Washburn University Students. It is a robust organization totaling over forty members between the senators and the executive staff.
