As Breast Cancer Awareness month unfolds throughout October, sorority Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) hosted a 5K event that people across the borderland attended and showed support for survivors and patients alike.
ZTA President Daniela Samaniego is a student at UTEP majoring in organization and corporate communications. Samaniego spoke about the event and its importance.
“We are hosting a 5K for breast cancer education and awareness,” Samaniego said. “One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer and that is a very terrifying statistic. Cancer is something that many people have been familiar with, and I think as we get awareness, we also raise money to those who need it is really important.
