Blair Community Aids in Fight Against Breast Cancer in October

As in past years, faculty member Kaye Evans rounded up 14 members of the Blair community, including herself, and headed for the 11th annual Race for the Cure event in Princeton, N.J. The event benefits The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for breast cancer research (25%) and will help fund breast cancer screening and educational programs for the medically underserved of New Jersey (75%).

Blair participants were faculty members Dana Williams, Sean Hoskins, Amy Vachris, Jim Connor and Ryan Spring, as well as students Faith Evans ’05, Lauren Anderson ’05, Maddie Vachris, Chelsea Gallagher ’08, Erica Parra ’05, Beth Kaskel ’06 and Liz Connor ’08. Erica raised over $500, while Beth and Chelsea raised over $200. Interested donors may still pledge online at newjerseyraceforthecure.org.; just look for a name to sponsor or go to “bucs for the cure” and the Blair team will get credit.

Blair registrar Susan Ferrera again participated in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, the American Cancer Society’s premier event to raise awareness and dollars to fight breast cancer. The walks happen year-round throughout the country and are usually five miles in length. This year, there will be more than 100 walks taking place. Susan’s four-mile walk took place in Parsippany, N.J., and raised $155 for the fight against breast cancer. The American Cancer Society gladly accepts donations at any time of year.
