San Marcos Academy students support CTMC Women’s Center for Breast Health
San Marcos Academy students recently presented a check for $1,660 to the Central Texas Medical Center Foundation to support breast cancer awareness and prevention programs at the CTMC Women’s Center for Breast Health.
As a partner in CTMC’s “think pink” initiatives, the SMA Student Ambassadors sponsored several fund-raising events during the fall semester, selling pink-out T-shirts, baked goods and other items. This is the seventh year that the Academy Ambassadors have supported the CTMC Foundation.
The donation was presented to Dr. Sue Ann Harrison, a member of the CTMC Foundation Board of Directors and the Academy’s school physician.
The CTMC Foundation was established in 1982 as a non-profit, tax exempt organization to raise philanthropic funds for improving programs, facilities and services available through the CTMC health ministry. During Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, CTMC joins forces with a number of Hays County organizations in an annual series of events and activities to provide much needed free mammograms and to raise awareness/funds in the local fight against cancer.
