SHJC's Cancer Awareness Efforts | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Sacred Heart Junior College had 3 days of fundraisers, from Monday to Wednesday, for the San Ignacio Cancer Society.  They had bake sales, ribbon sales, a donation day, and a 'color your hair' fundraiser.  SHC raised $1,000, and it was presented to the Cancer Society after Dr. Marvin Manzanero gave a great presentation on cancer and the benefits of early detection. 


"In an effort to promote cancer awareness and to assist cancer patients, SHJC students, faculty and staff engaged in a 3-day fundraising event that culminated with a session given by Mrs. Flora Usher - President of the Belize Cancer Society - San Ignacio Branch, and Dr. Marvin Manzanero...  The Director of Student Services presented the monies raised by faculty and staff through the different efforts carried out over the course of the 3 days.  We collected a total of $953.87 cash and our Student Gov't Association pledged the remaining $46.13 to make it a total donation of $1,000.00."
