JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The University of Jamestown has organized a campus-wide Pink Out on Wednesday to celebrate the No Excuses Program and raise money.
JRMC Marketing Manager Katie Ryan-Anderson says that the campus will wear pink all day and the men’s and women’s basketball teams will wear pink at their games that night. T-shirt sales will benefit No Excuses.
“No Excuses is the event in which healthcare partners in the community remove all barriers to women’s health exams like cervical screenings and 3D mammograms,” Ryan-Anderson stated. “Barriers include finances, fear, transportation, childcare [and more].”
The program was created because Stutsman County had one of the lowest rates of women receiving mammograms.
“Today, that is no longer the case,” Ryan-Anderson stated.
Women play at 6 PM and Men play at 8 PM at the Harold Newman Arena. The Jimmie James helped to organize the event.
