Colors for Cancer

Colors for Cancer is an annual fundraiser in the month of October at Elko High School. This year our HOSA chapter joined in the activities by selling t-shirts and spreading cancer awareness. Each week is a different cancer/color. We rasied a total of $660.
Week 1: Pink- Breast Cancer
Week 2: Blue- Prostate Cancer
Week: 3: Gray- Brain Cancer
Week 4: Purple- Pancreatic Cancer
Week 5: Orange- Leukemia and Lymphoma
Our HOSA chapter tie dyed t-shirts for each week and sold them for $10 each for students to wear on Wednesdays. The total came to selling nearly 150 shirts. We also hung up posters and handed out information weekly to spread awareness of the signs and facts of each cancer type.
