St. Lawrence 'Power Of Pink' Drive Raises $5,400 To Fight Breast Cancer

CANTON - St. Lawrence University's "Power of Pink" week - a week of events coordinated by student-athletes to raise funds in support of breast cancer awareness - raised $5,400, which students gave to the Gouverneur Business Women.

The Gouverneur Business Women assist families in the North Country with expenses related to screening for and treatment of breast cancer. In the three years that the athletes have been conducting the events, about $18,800 has been raised, in total.
