Delta State University\u2019s B.E.E.P (Breast Education & Early-detection Project) and the College of Education and Human Science\u2019s Recreation Leadership Program are teaming up to fight breast cancer with an\u00a0inaugural Walk-a-thon for Breast Cancer Awareness. This event will raise funds to help provide mammograms and education for women in need.<\/p>\n
“Walk or jog with us to support breast cancer education and early-detection practices,” said Gail Bailey, B.E.E.P. project coordinator.\u00a0“Walk as long as you can or as long as you wish. For each completed lap, Sonic Drive-In of Cleveland will donate $0.50 to B.E.E.P., up to $500. The more you walk, the more we earn together to fight breast cancer. Donations will also be accepted from participants.”<\/p>\n
The event will be held on Oct. 1 from 4-6 p.m. at the Delta State fitness\u00a0trail\u00a0on Maple Street\u00a0across from the Delta State\u00a0physical plant. Registration will be held on site.
