to help those fighting cancer, provide information to increase awareness and
prevention of cancer, and celebrate cancer survivors.
One
of the most important ways to support “Team Up Against Cancer” is by purchasing
apparel available at Lazer Graphics. Student Senate will also be
selling apparel at the high school lunches September 18th through

patients in southwest Michigan and will be distributed to Berrien County Cancer
Services and the Marie Yeager Cancer Center. Purchase of a t-shirt or hoodie
will also admit the wearer into all high school sporting events at St. Joseph
High School during the week of October 2nd through the 6th.
The “Team Up
Against Cancer” main event will be held on Friday, October 6th
