Last week the Associated Student Government (ASG) presented “Passionately Pink” To Fresno City College’s campus. The event provided an opportunity for students to register for the Susan G. Komen walk or Race that was held at Fresno State.

There was a great amount of students and staff donating and signing up to volunteer their time for the cause. There was a total of 10 volunteers and a total of 204 dollars earned.

Natalie Nelson, ASG ‘s student trustee studying liberal arts, organized the event. Nelson said, “My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago. She is a breast cancer survivor.” She also said that she is heavily involved with the Susan G. Komen organization because of her grandmother’s survival.

The event featured a bra-decorating contest. For a three dollar donation, each participant got to decorate a bra and support the Komen organization. The group of women who participated were Markie Hageman, Marina Triantafyllou, Eden Gebreab, Naomi Marteniz, Annesha Stennis, FCC instructor Linda Albright, Luna Assad, and Julie Cunna.

The prize was a very pinked-out bra decorated with breast cancer themed goodies perfectly placed in a bra shaped basket. The prize was assembeled by the mother of ASG member Lisa Kooiman.

After the women completed their bra; the all male judging team, Sean Hendrickson, Brandon Sisk, and Marshall Pulliam declared Eden Gebreab the winner. Gebreab was not present when the basket was awarded. For more pictures of the event see the story at www.fresnocitycollegerampage.com
