Pretty in Pink

Friday, October 6th, 2023, FHS HOSA teamed with FHS Athletics to raise money for breast cancer in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month during a home football game. Everyday that week, our team members would announce a fact to the school each morning to give awareness about breast cancer. During school, HOSA members would gather in Mrs. Sloan’s classroom and prepare for the football game. HOSA members put stickers of the breast cancer symbol as well as encouraging messages on a sheet of paper that allowed people to place a pink ribbon for family members’ and friends’ as a sign of remembrance towards them. Our attendees wore pink in support for Breast Cancer Awareness and stood at the gate accepting donations in a pink decorated bucket. Due to our support from the football game, we were able to raise $1,000 for the American Cancer Society for those affected with breast cancer.
