The cost of the event is $10 for students and $15 for non-students. All proceeds will go to breast cancer awareness and research programs. Registration is available at the door.

We look forward to seeing you there, and thank you for your support in this effort to fight a disease that affects so many women, their families and friends.” For more information on the Skate-a-thon, interested persons can contact Ms. Karnik at ADKarnik@medicine.tamu.edu.
