According to breastcancer.org, about one in eight U.S. women, just fewer than 12 percent, will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Western Dubuque High School helped support this cause in many ways. The student body had a “Pink-Out” for a football game, and the WDHS Marching Band and formed the pink ribbon symbol during the annual light show. Tri-M also sold pink bracelets and ribbons to help out the cause. Lastly, WD’s National Honor Society sold T-shirts that read “Clawing for a Cure” in memory of the lives lost and to raise support for the ones still fighting.
