More than a month has passed since the Trojan women decided to raise money and donate it to those who suffer from the debilitating disease. Team members spent hours of their personal time cutting out commemorative ribbons and selling them in the Student Center lobby for a small donation. Surpassing an initial goal of one thousand dollars, they have raised nearly two thousand dollars and donations are still coming in! All of the money raised will be given to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
