Dearne Valley College Rallies for Breast Cancer Awareness, Raising £255 for CoppaFeel!

October is recognised globally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a critical time dedicated to highlighting the importance of early detection, providing support, and funding life-saving research.

So recently, our College campus was awash in shades of pink as staff and students united to show their support and raise vital awareness for Breast Cancer. The vibrant display was part of a dedicated fundraising event, which saw our social space transform into a hub of generosity and creativity.

Throughout the day, a variety of stalls offered an array of delightful items. Attendees could browse and purchase beautiful handmade arts and crafts, charming trinkets, and symbolic pink bows, all lovingly created by our talented staff and students.

The air was also filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods, as a dedicated bake sale featured an impressive selection of buns and sweet treats, generously prepared and donated by our staff.

Beyond the retail therapy, an interactive arts and crafts table provided a relaxed space for everyone to get involved, offering drawing activities, word searches, and more. It was a wonderful opportunity for reflection and engagement amidst the lively atmosphere.

The outpouring of support was truly heartwarming. Every single purchase made throughout the day directly contributed to the cause, with all proceeds being donated to CoppaFeel! – A fantastic charity dedicated to educating young people on the importance of checking their chests regularly.

Thanks to the incredible efforts and generosity of everyone involved, we are thrilled to announce that the event successfully raised a whopping total of £255! This fantastic sum will go a long way in supporting CoppaFeel!’s crucial work.

A huge thank you to every member of staff and every student who wore pink, baked, crafted, bought, or simply showed their support. Your collective spirit made today a truly memorable and impactful event in the fight against breast cancer.
