Hoggard High School Plans First "Pink Day" in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness
Proceeds to Benefit Pretty in Pink Foundation

WHAT:
Hoggard High School students and staff will have the opportunity to support breast cancer awareness during the school's first "Pink Day." The Hoggard Student Council has encouraged everyone to wear pink to show their support. In addition, the group will be accepting donations in exchange for face painting, ribbons and other items. Proceeds raised from "Pink Day" will benefit the local chapter of Pretty in Pink, a North Carolina-based breast cancer organization that offers life-saving medical treatment.

"Pink Day" has been initiated and coordinated by Student Council Sophomore Representative Cailtyn Campagna, who challenged her fellow Student Council representatives to bring breast cancer awareness to the high school level. Caitlyn plans to continue her campaign in the future and challenge other local high schools to participate next October.

WHEN:
Tuesday, October 30, 2012

WHERE:
Hoggard High School
4305 Shipyard Blvd.
Wilmington, NC 28403
