October is more than just the arrival of fall in Texas; it is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s take a closer look at how TXST has been raising awareness and showing support in a simple yet powerful way – by wearing pink every Wednesday.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to remind us of the importance of early detection, support, and solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.
On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink:
TXST students, faculty, and staff have taken strides to support this cause. The message is clear: On Wednesdays, we wear pink. This tradition has become a symbol of unity and awareness across the campus.
Whether it’s a pink shirt, a pink ribbon, or even a pink accessory, you’ll see people sporting their pink every Wednesday throughout October. It’s a visual reminder that breast cancer affects not just those battling the disease but their loved ones and the entire community.
Show your Support:
The power of wearing pink on Wednesdays at TXST goes beyond fashion. It’s a way for the Bobcat community to say, “We stand with you.” Those fighting breast cancer can draw strength from knowing that they are not alone. The simple act of wearing pink fosters a sense of togetherness and compassion.
This show of support doesn’t require elaborate events or grand gestures. It’s a subtle but potent statement that underscores the importance of awareness, early detection, and research to find a cure for breast cancer.
Thank you to Kelly Damphousse and our Round Rock campus for coming together to support Pinktober!
Pinktober Continues:
Pinktober at Texas State University is our way to show support for a vital cause. By wearing pink every Wednesday, the TXST community emphasizes unity, compassion, and the importance of early detection and research in the fight against breast cancer.
So, whether you’re a student, faculty member, or part of the TXST staff, remember to join the tradition. Put on that pink shirt or ribbon and stand with your fellow Bobcats in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a small gesture that makes a big difference.
