Oregon Tech recently hosted a Pink Out basketball game to honor those impacted by breast cancer and to support patients in our community. 💗 We are grateful to everyone who came out, wore pink, and showed their support. Thanks to this incredible turnout, funds were raised to benefit the Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center—helping ensure compassionate, local care for those who need it most. Together, we showed the power of community and what it means to stand with one another. #PinkOut #OregonTech #BreastCancerAwareness #CommunitySupport #CompassionateCare #FightBreastCancer

Thank you to Lost River for the invitation, and thank you to our Oregon Tech reps who contributed their time and experience to engage with and support the students.
