How LOW Will Komen GO?: Peter's Entry

My friend Peter, a student at Evergreen State College, forwarded the following announcement as his entry into the contest. 

I didn't post it earlier, because I was trying to get my hands on one of these shirts before the college athletic dept. shut him down. 

I THINK it's a spoof, and I would dearly love an "M for Malignant" T-shirt to wear during October, but was unable to get one. Note that the explanation of "malignant" in the flyer is not correct. --Jeanne

M for Malignant

 

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month the Women’s Volleyball team and Women’s Soccer team will be wearing pink shoe laces and ribbons in their games to show their support for those associated with breast cancer.

Students can now show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness and the Women's Volleyball teams and Women's Soccer Team by purchasing PinkShirts with Fancy Green M 's standing for Malignant.  This, of course, promotes the idea of BREAST CANCER AWARENESS. Malignant tumors are what can form within the breast if the risks and causes are not known beforehand.  Show your support today by reserving a shirt and supporting your teams and Breast cancer awareness month.  The sizes available are XS, S, M, L, XL.  The shirts are available in guys or girly t shirts.  The cost is just $15!

              

The games are on October 18^th here at The Evergreen State College.

Please come show your support for our teams and those involved in breast cancer by wearing anything pink to the games.

The Evergreen State College Athletics department has dubbed October 18^thas a day to “Think Pink!”
