Did You Know breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women? In 2021, it's estimated that about 30% of newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancer. Join us in the fight against breast cancer. Here are a few of our faculty and staff members who wore their RETRO Dig for the Cure shirts or pink today. Head over to the PSD Facebook page to see even more photos and to post your own!
Show your support - wear pink this week and come out to the 14th Annual Dig for the Cure this Thursday at Doc Paynter Court as your Lady Rams take on their crosstown rivals!
Dig for the Cure is THIS Thursday, September 30th. Starting today we will be posting some "Did You Know?" facts and stats about breast cancer AND our faculty and staff will be wearing RETRO Dig for the Cure shirts or pink this week to bring awareness to breast cancer. We'd love for you to join us in wearing pink too! Comment on one of our posts with your picture and a message of hope for this year's 3 honorees:
April Vanaman Biggs
Amber Vanaman
Julie Lamb Milligan
"The overall death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1% per year from 2013 to 2018. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances and earlier detection through screening." Did You Know the proceeds from Dig for the Cure go to 3 local entities? St. Bernard's Imaging Center, AMMC's Project Hope, and NEA Baptist Hospital's Hope Circle.
