Her Campus Ithaca College: Can you tell us a little about Ithaca College Unites for HER?

Nickie Griesemer: Ithaca College Unites For HER is part of an organization based in the Philadelphia area that strives to bridge the gap between the medical and wellness communities by funding and delivering complementary therapies that support the physical and emotional needs of those with breast cancer during treatment and beyond. These therapies include acupuncture, yoga, massage therapy, and nutrition counseling among many others. They also educate their community about the role of healthy lifestyle choices in the prevention of disease and the promotion of wellness.

Our club works with the varsity sports teams on campus to raise money to provide women and men in the Ithaca College community diagnosed with breast cancer these complimentary therapies. Each team dedicates one of their games to this organization and we run fundraising events while they play. All of the athletes also wear pink during this game to show they are all uniting for this incredible cause!
