GoPink Challenge 2014

GoPink Registrar

The Registrar's Office participating in October's GoPink Challenge!

Congratulations to all who completed the GoPink Challenge to support Breast Cancer Awareness! Participants earned points for each day that they wore pink clothing, accessories and/or pink bracelets and stickers, which were available to pick up at the Human Resources (HR) front desk. Rather than receiving a prize for earning a minimum of 20 points, USF donated money in the winners’ names to a worthy cause.

Points could also be earned by attending the October Lunch and Learn. Assistant Professors Jo Loomis and Cathy Coleman from the School of Nursing and Health Professions shared their wealth of knowledge about Breast Health. Over 20 participants learned about the American Cancer Society's breast cancer screening guidelines and how to reduce the risk of cancer. To learn more about the importance of being physically active, maintaining a healthy diet and weight, limiting alcohol, and abstaining from smoking, review their Breast Health Presentation.

Finally, participants could earn points for attending Zumba Night, a Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser hosted by the Athletics Department. On October 8 in War Memorial Gym, people danced to great music, burned calories and helped fight cancer by making optional donations to benefit the Change for Change and Celebrate Life foundations.

Out of the 51 people who participated in this challenge, 20 people (listed below) achieved the minimum of 20 points and a $250 donation in their names was made to the San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) Foundation, who provides screening services to underserved women in San Francisco. If you are interested in touring the SFGH Foundation facility, please email GoUSF@usfca.edu for details.

Thank you again for participating and raising awareness about an important health issue!
