Komen On the Go™ Tour Brings Life-Saving
Breast Health Information to WSC Students

 

On Tuesday, April 15, Worcester State College will host Susan G. Komen for the Cure®’s community education and outreach tour at the Student Center. Komen on the Go™ is a traveling tour, crossing the nation to deliver life-saving breast health information to all generations of women. The tour stop Worcester State College is one of more than 150 stops Komen On the Go is making across the country to heighten awareness of breast health and breast cancer and drive a deeper commitment from young women to commit to everyday health habits to reduce their risk for the disease.

WHAT:             The Komen On the Go™ pink semi-trailer converts into an interactive learning center. This fun, hands-on experience features computer kiosks chock full of easy-to-understand breast health information, such as how to do a breast self-exam, and an eight-foot “graffiti wall” for participants to share a memory or pledge their personal support in the global breast cancer movement. Other perks may include information on how to volunteer locally, details on the Komen Race for the Cure and tips on supporting loved ones facing breast cancer.

Local breast cancer survivors and health care professionals will be on location to share their experiences and knowledge.
