The Glens Falls City School District came together throughout October to raise breast cancer awareness, honor survivors, support those currently battling the disease, and remember loved ones affected by cancer.

Through Pennies for Pink collections, district-wide Power of Pink Day activities, and participation in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, students, student-athletes, staff, and families demonstrated the power of community spirit and compassion.
