Yorktown Independent School District (ISD) is proud to announce a remarkable achievement in its recent Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser, where students raised over $1,900. This incredible effort will fund 20, 3D mammograms for women in the community who lack insurance coverage, ensuring access to this vital screening.
Throughout the month, students actively participated in various fundraising activities, including collecting spare change and purchasing breast cancer awareness merchandise to wear at school. Additionally, teachers supported the initiative by purchasing 'wear jeans' passes, creating a vibrant and united front in the fight against breast cancer.
On Friday, October 25th YISD hosted a breast cancer awareness walk for students and the community members to honor, support, and educate by walking the track. Yorktown Medical Clinic and Cuero Regional Hospital participated by providing education, cheering on the walkers, and passing out pink pom poms. Yorktown Medical Clinic and CRH also provided a pizza lunch for the fundraising winners at YISD.
