Approximately 120 bras have already been collected during the drive. All donations will be distributed locally.

Lobdell also mentioned a fundraising component for this campaign. Students, faculty and community members can donate to the\u00a0Feel Your Boobies Foundation<\/a>, which provides the college’s breast cancer prevention educational materials. The campus-wide goal is $500, with prizes at three giving levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
