Passionately Pink For The Cure (TM)!

Dear Teachers,

Did you know it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Did you know it is expected that more than 212,000 women and men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 41,000 people will die from breast cancer in 2006 alone?! This dreaded disease touches millions of lives. Foothill DECA, with the help of our awesome student body & faculty, has an opportunity to make a difference by showing our passion and sharing the promise for the cure.

Foothill DECA has chosen Wednesday, October 18th as our day to go Passionately Pink for the Cure(TM). We are asking everyone to participate by doing one of the following:

* Wear pink on Wednesday, October 18th
* Participate in the "Miracle Minute" on 10/18 (details to follow)
* Come by our table on the quad this week and get a Breast Cancer
Awareness sticker by making a donation of any amount.
