"Join us in the fight against Breast Cancer!"
Our team Be Pink is raising funds and awareness about the Susan G. Komen Foundation and breast cancer on Temple's campus. We plan to not only raise money but also volunteer at events such as the The Susan G. Komen 3-Day, and more importantly inspire people to believe that it's the little things that make a difference.
“Fighting for the freedom of Philadelphia’s women and children”
Women Against Abuse is Philadelphia’s leading domestic violence advocate and service provider, with the mission of providing quality, compassionate, and nonjudgmental services for people experiencing intimate partner violence. As a team, we want to continue their efforts through advocacy on social media platforms and through on-campus outreach. We will be raising money and collecting supplies for the women and children who find refuge in the emergency safe havens and transitional housing program that Women Against Abuse oversees. We are excited to be partnering with this incredible non-profit organization to work towards ending domestic violence, because their freedom is worth the fight.
