Last October, Deer Park High School teacher Heidi White talked to her students about breast cancer in an attempt to raise awareness. She did much more than that. After hearing about breast cancer, the Deer Park High School Student Council was inspired to “do something about it,” says White. The students made and sold pink ribbon pins for $.50 each to students, staff and faculty. The grand total reached $310.00, which will be put toward The Rose’s Empower Her® Sponsorship Program. This program provides breast cancer detection services to those who cannot afford the costs of these potentially life saving procedures. The generous acts of these young men and women will not soon be forgotten, especially by the women who will be directly impacted though The Rose’s services. Their generosity translates into three mammograms for women who would not have been able to afford care. Three lives, three families... touched in an extraordinary way by these extraordinary teens.
