The event will provide valuable information on the connections between nutrition, public health, and mental health as it relates to breast cancer prevention and care. Participants will also have a chance to engage in an interactive trivia game to test their knowledge of breast cancer facts and stand a chance to win exciting prizes.

Haynes Hall Nursing Building, Fisher Hall, the J. S. Clark Administration Annex Building, and Mayberry Dining Hall. Donations are being accepted until Oct. 29.
