Know your risk

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

The ovarian cancer community’s color is TEAL.

In order to educate Drury on the deadliest cancer of the reproductive system and the leading cause of cancer death among women WEAR TEAL!

If you don’t have a teal shirt: paint your fingernails and toes teal

If you are still lacking teal the members of Panthers for Planned Parenthood will be handing out teal ribbons at the FSC during lunch on Wednesday.

Looks like a fun week!

See you there
