During the month of October, also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, αΚΔΦ chapters across the nation work hard to promote breast cancer awareness and raise money to donate to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (www.komen.org). VT αΚΔΦ strives to better educate the university of the dangers of breast cancer awareness by holding information booths and handing out pink ribbons and brochures to students. Our annual project is a Charity Talent Contest, and each year it continues to get bigger and better. Together, αΚΔΦ raises over $20,000 every year to give to the Komen oundation. By coming together, we CAN make a difference! * Over $25,000 was raised nationally and donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. * 27 chapters participated in the Race for the Cure. * Every chapter hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness forum, workshop, or informational booth on their campus. * Every chapter dedicated at least one service project in the month of October to Breast Cancer Awareness. - Pink Ribbon activities - Annual Talent Contest - Fundraisers for Susan G.Komen  Help Fund Free Mamograms      See how many mammograms were funded by yesterday's clicks.
