BISD October Tradition

The BISD Breast Cancer Awareness Initiative has become a district October tradition. Since its beginning 7 years ago, this outreach has sought to raise awareness of breast cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survival within BISD. Funds are raised annually through $10 contributions which entitle BISD employees to wear jeans on Thursdays and Fridays in October. Other events include special themes every Friday in October. A luncheon will be held for breast cancer patients, survivors and their supporters on Friday, October 28 at 12 noon in the Boardroom. The 4th Annual BISD Mile of Hope will be held on Sunday, October 30, 2016 at 6 pm at Sams Stadium. All funds raised are donated to the BISD Mile of Hope Foundation and related breast cancer awareness activities. A total of 10 BISD full-time employees and/or students who are breast cancer patients recently received funds to assist with medical expenses.
