The Cerritos College community is given the opportunity to show support for the Breast Cancer Awareness Month by buying from a pink section at the bookstore.
The Cerritos College bookstore has been supporting this cause for a few years now, by donating or participating in the walk.
The items in the bookstore vary from pencils to book bags to stethcoscopes.
“We try to choose items specifically appealing to students, we have a large nursing department here at Cerritos,” said Paul Flovick, the book store manager.
Up to 10 percent is donated to organizations like “The National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc.,” “City of Hope for Breast Cancer Research, Treatment, and Education,” “The Cancer Society,” and the “Susan G. Komen for the Cure.”
The pink section will be at the bookstore through the month of October.
