The Student Activities Council will host Tigers for Tatas Oct. 5 in the University Center from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the event aims to inform University of Memphis students about the disease.
“There are a lot of people affected by cancer,” Ashton Toone, ideas and issues event committee leader of SAC, said. “College students need to be more aware since college students are known for not taking care of their health.”
Eight members from the committee will hand out T-shirts to the first 100 people. Students will be able to pose and take photos with an Instagram frame. They are encouraged pick up flyers with tips on how to check for breast lumps, information on what breast cancer is and information on the causes of breast cancer.
“Tigers for Tatas” also occurred last year in October, as did a small breast cancer awareness event before homecoming.
