Beyond Rec: Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
During October we recognized Breast Cancer Awareness
month through a number of memorable events,
promotions, and partnerships focused on honoring those
who have survived or lost their life to cancer.
“Blue Goes PINK Week” at the SRC is an event that we
host every year. Throughout the week we encouraged
our patrons to commemorate their loved ones through a
number of themed activities. Members who worked out in
pink received a free pink #MovingMonarch t-shirt.
Our Fitness & Wellness unit area offered incentives and
discounts throughout the month with a campaign dubbed
“FITtober,” where we provided free fitness assessments and
discounts to our Massage Therapy, Personal Training, and
Small Group Training sessions.
An informational table was placed at the front of the
Student Recreation Center (SRC) where handouts, ribbons,
and bracelets were available to patrons. In addition, honor
and memorial cards were available and posted throughout
the building.
We also partnered with on-campus organizations such
as the Women’s Center and Health Promotions to host the
Annual Breastival and Fun Walk. Our facility also serves as
the flagship building for the annual Relay for Life event.
