SVSU Breast Cancer Survivor and Recognition Event

March 2, 2024

SVSU Athletics is proud to sponsor the annual Cancer Survivor recognition event in conjunction with the basketball games against Wayne State University on March 2, 2024.

Commemorative t-shirts will be sold and all proceeds will be donated to Covenant Breast Health Program CARE fund. To date, SVSU Athletics has raised $36,634 for the CARE fund, which provides mammography, breast cancer screening, initial follow-up consultations, and treatment for under and uninsured women between the ages of  40 and 65. 

As a result of the contributions over the first 11 years, Covenant Breast Health Center has held FREE Mammogram Screening Days since 2010 serving women in our community. Certified Mammography technicians, physicians, nurses, and support staff volunteer their time for the event. The CARE fund picks up the cost of additional breast images, biopsies, and if needed surgical expenses. Having the CARE fund allows those impacted by this disease to move forward with further testing without the additional worry of not being able to pay for services.

This event was made possible by the generous contributions of our Cardinal athletics volunteers, student-athletes, and sponsors including Covenant Cancer Care Center, Jolt Credit Union, and Cardinal Deli.

The 13th annual event was held on March 2, 2024.
