Bark for a cure!

“Everyone talks about the cure. Well, Mt. Hood is going to bark for the cure,” said Steven Page, ASG wellness coordinator.

Breast cancer awareness “Jeopardy!” will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday below the MHCC Library.

Prizes include water bottles, T-shirts, wristbands, bags, stickers, necklaces and lanyards.

The prizes will be dictated on a point system, but most will be awarded with few than 10 points. Three high-end questions will win a T-shirt.

The winner of the most total points gets a “swag bag” full of one of each prize item.

“‘Fight for the Cure’ is a big thing… I wanted to do something that’s ‘us’ that we could take pride in, cause we’re the Saint Bernards,” Page said.

Page has spent more than four weeks researching breast cancer and has condensed the information into boards and packets with information he felt is important for students.

“I don’t celebrate breast cancer awareness, I celebrate breast cancer prevention, because prevention creates awareness and saves lives,” he said.

Page hopes the event draws hundreds of participants. Even if a smaller number show up, those people can spread what they’ve learned and make a difference, he said.

His goal is that those who play the game “learn something that could possible save your life,” he said.

“I just ask that they read the information, learn it, pass it on.”
