Breast Cancer

Official Philanthropy - Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is the National Month for Breast Cancer Awareness. Throughout the year Sigma Lambda Gammas fundraises to earn money for our philanthropy. We also participate in the Susan G Komen walk for breast cancer every May.

It is important to spread the word about breast cancer and to become knowledgeable on how to detect early stages. As women we like to encourage others to get tested and to learn about the warning signs.
