Colleges Against Cancer

Every twenty-four seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with cancer. This year, over 2,400 of those diagnosed will be college students. Seattle University Colleges Against Cancer is a new student group committed to making a difference for those touched by cancer by initiating activities that promote cancer awareness on our campus and by raising funds to support the American Cancer Society. We believe that our efforts will help find a cure and engage our campus community in the fight against cancer.

We Need Your Help:

Our important efforts to eliminate cancer and diminish the suffering that far too many effected by cancer face are only possible with help from people like you. Please consider joining our group or participating in the exciting activities listed below.

Upcoming Activities:

Suits and Sneakers Cancer Awareness Night
Key Arena
Date to be announced soon!

New Seattle U. coach Cameron Dollar and the men’s basketball coaching staff will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes during a Redhawk’s game at Key Arena this season to encourage fans to support the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer. Our group will collect donations to support ACS, honor cancer survivors in the audience, and distribute cancer awareness information at the game. We won the award for “Best Event Organized by a Student Club” in recognition of our efforts during last year’s game at the Connelly Center. We look forward to an even bigger and better event this year at the Key Arena and hope that you will join us. 

Relay for Life
Seattle Pacific University
May 2010

By taking part in Relay For Life you have the chance to join 3.5 million people from across the country to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much. At the event, we'll camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission.
