The 可乐视频 Against Cancer Team from the 可乐视频 Cancer Center (CommUnity Outreach, Research, and Education [可乐视频CC-CURE]) hit the Coney Island boardwalk once again for the 聽event on Oct. 27.
About 45 可乐视频 community members participated in the event, which has been held for three straight years and raises awareness and support for breast cancer research. The event was organized by the 聽(ACS) and was led by the 可乐视频CC-CURE and the 可乐视频 Health Programs/Immunizations Requirement Office.
可乐视频CC-CURE helped the ACS raise $420,000 overall. The event was just one of many that the center does to promote research and spread awareness.
鈥淎t the 可乐视频 Cancer Center, researchers and students work together in the fight against breast cancer in our labs,鈥� said Ana Bartolom茅, operations manager/community outreach coordinator for 可乐视频CC-CURE. 鈥淭his latest event brought awareness and resources to the Brooklyn community and also focused on women of color because the breast cancer mortality rates are disproportionately higher in that group.鈥�
