Galveston College students, faculty and staff joined together today at the Seibel
Wing for a campus walk in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The event aimed to raise awareness and show support for those affected by breast cancer
while commemorating the 40th anniversary of the national observance.
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 316,000 women and 2,800 men are
expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in 2025. The college
community’s walk served as a visible reminder of the importance of early detection,
education and continued research.
Participants received free pink Galveston College breast cancer awareness T-shirts
and enjoyed water, Gatorade and snacks following the walk.
