SSCC students raise money for cancer research
Pink Tea event hosted by Medical Assisting Student Organization
Students in the medical assistant program at Southern State Community College raised more than $500 to donate to the “Susan G. Komen for a Cure” breast cancer research fund.
The MAST students hosted a Pink Tea event on May 15 at the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro. The event was open to the public.
Three women—Lisa Haney, Dora Myers and Jessica Bracken—spoke to the audience about struggles they have had with breast cancer.
The $567 donated by the students was raised through raffles of donated items, including two adult tickets to Kings Island, a blanket handmade by April Doss, a Merle Norman makeup bag from Rachelle Trefz, a handmade wall mirror from Bill D. Williams, a set of lotions from Carry DeAtley, and a fern and potted plant from Teresa Hall.
This year’s student officers—presidents Jessica Bracken and Amber Kinsey, and vice president April Doss—said the event was a tremendous success and they plan to make the Pink Tea an annual event.
