— More
than 300 students, alumni, faculty and staff raised more than
$10,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® with their participation
in the Komen Race for the Cure® in Houston and Dallas.
The Houston and
Dallas teams, both known as the “Pioneers for the Cure,”
also were recognized as having the largest team in the higher
education category for the races held in their respective
cities during October.
This marks the
fourth consecutive year that TWU has received the largest
higher education team award in Dallas. This also was the first
year that the university expanded its team recruitment efforts
to the Houston campus.
“Many TWU
students will be the healthcare providers of people with breast
cancer, so supporting the race is a natural fit for us,”
said Veronica Castillo, a master of occupational therapy student
and the TWU Houston team captain. “The fact that so
many from the TWU community walked and donated money shows
how much this important cause means to them.”
