WSBU “The Buzz” 88.3 FM draped the St. Bonaventure University campus in pink last month when the student-run radio station hosted a three-day breast cancer awareness fundraiser. The event, “BUZZ’D about Pink,” took place Oct. 26-28.
‘BUZZ’D about Pink’ ended last Wednesday with a concert in the Rathskeller, an on-campus nightly hangout for students. When the dust settled and the last notes played, WSBU reached its $2,000 goal.
The 'BUZZ'D about PINK' T-shirts sold out in three hours last Monday. WSBU ordered 100 more to satisfy the students’ calls for more. Those sold out in 20 minutes on Wednesday to bring the total number of T-shirts sold to 250.
WSBU also sold out of pink wristbands that bear the event name ‘BUZZ’D about Pink.’
Pink engulfed the St. Bonaventure campus Wednesday as people wore their ‘BUZZ'D about Pink’ T-shirts while others wore pink in support of the event.
The proceeds will be donated in full to American Cancer Society.
