SAN MARCOS \u2013 All gate and concession proceeds from Palomar College\u2019s Pacific Coast Athletic Conference women\u2019s volleyball match versus Southwestern College on Friday, Oct. 23 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Cancer Research. The annual fundraising match is scheduled for a 5 p.m. start in the Palomar Dome.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, our women\u2019s volleyball team \u2013 as well as the entirety of our intercollegiate athletic program– is asking the campus community to join in this effort and fill our gym,\u201d said Director of Athletics Scott Cathcart. \u201cThe greater number of people we can get to pay admission for this evening of entertaining competition, the more meaningful our contribution will be for this worthy cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stated mission of the Susan G. Komen Foundation is to save lives and end breast cancer forever. The Foundation\u2019s methods include education, support for research, the extension of grants to provide financial and emotional assistance to those affected and to advocate for better public breast cancer policy. In a broader sense, the foundation works to ensure quality care for all and invest in the science to find a cure. Last year, Susan G. Komen\u2019s community grants provided financial and social support for more than 50,000 families impacted by breast cancer.<\/p>\n
