University students can increase their awareness of breast cancer at the third annual “Best Dressed Breast” fashion show at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the EMU Ballroom.
As many as 500 people are expected to attend the free event, which concludes October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The show’s emcee will provide breast cancer information as models strut down the runway in clothing provided by local stores such as Deluxe, West Moon Trading Company, Lemon Juice and Sweet Potato Pie. The American Cancer Society, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University’s peer health educators will host information tables in the lobby.
The hour-long event promises to be flashy, fun and educational, said Annie Dochnahl, a peer health educator at the University.
“The fashion show offers a way of making this information more beautiful and palatable, rather than just giving a lecture on breast cancer reduction,” Dochnahl said.
