students help paint cancer
out of the picture
Students, staff, and family members from The Art Institute of Houston–North, a branch of The Art Institute of
Houston, participated in the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in downtown Houston. The walk raises money for breast
cancer research as well as awareness about the importance of early detection.
Many of The Art Institute of Houston–North team members walked in memory of a loved one. Fund-raising began
on campus with a bake sale and continued with personal donations to achieve the fund-raising goal. In total, The Art
Institute of Houston–North team raised more than $1,400 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. More than 35,000
people participated in the Houston race this year, and more than $3 million was raised for Susan G. Komen for the
Cure® in Houston.
Some students also donated artwork to “Project Pink” (sponsored by the North Cypress Medical Center) to auction off
at their annual Art for the Cure banquet. All proceeds raised from the auction were donated to Susan G. Komen for the
Cure®. “Project Pink” brought in more than $50,000 this year for breast cancer research.
