<p class=""><font color="#660000">BREAST CANCER AWARENESS HELMET AUCTION CLOSES</font></p> <p class=""><font color="#660000">As you should know, our department drew attention to Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October and at our Nov. 1 football game against Kentucky. Our players donned helmets with a specially prepared decal featuring the pink ribbon logo of Breast Cancer Awareness incorporated into our M-State mark that is a permanent part of our head gear. Following the game, we made 10 helmets available via on-line auction on our athletic web site. Those helmets, provided by our helmet manufacturer, brought $4,915, with <span style="font-weight: bold;">winning bids ranging from $475 to $508 for each helmet</span>. The proceeds from the auction will be sent to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.</font></p> <p class="">
