Fashion show to promote breast cancer awareness
Students can increase their awareness of breast cancer tonight at a fashion show entitled “Best Dressed Breast,” sponsored by the Health Education Program and the University Health Center.
The fashion show begins at 7 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom. Peer health educators will provide information about breast cancer, including statistics and methods of prevention.
“It’s in recognition of breast cancer awareness month,” Peer Health Educator Danielle Chiacco said, adding that the event aims to heighten awareness in the community.
A representative from the American Cancer Society will also be available to provide information.
Models will wear clothing loaned from local stores, including REI, Buffalo Exchange and Sweet Potato Pie.
Jennifer Helms, a peer health educator and model for the show, said the event allows people to learn and be entertained at the same time.
“It’s just kind of a fun little thing to do instead of just someone sitting up there and preaching to you about breast cancer,” Helms said.
