A fundraiser benefiting the Comadre a Comadre program in the College of Education at UNM will be held Thursday, Sept. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Cold Stone Creamery located at Jefferson and I-25 near the Century Rio 24 Theatre.
As part of the promotion, 25 percent of the sales will be donated to Comadre a Comadre. Join Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority Inc. and Cold Stone Creamery help Comadre a Comadre raise money for its breast cancer organization.
Comadre A Comadre, which is housed in CoE’s Department of Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences area, is committed to empowering the lives of Hispanic/Latina women and their loved ones through advocacy, education, information, resources, and support about breast health and breast cancer.
The project trains and recruits “comadres” who are breast cancer survivors to meet and assist patients at medical appointments and to serve as a liaison between the patient and medical providers.
