"My dad is a cancer survivor and so is my grandma. It's important to stay positive. I think campaigns raising awareness for cancer is an important thing." — Christine Luetke, sophomore pre-nursing major
"My mom had stage two breast cancer. You need a network of people to help. It's important to emphasize how much good you can do just by doing simple things, like cooking meals for them." — Connor Fleming, sophomore chemistry major
"One of my grandmother's sisters has cancer, but no close family members. I think the most important thing for (fundraisers) to do is get a list of the most frequently occurring cancers and give out information about them and how to prevent them." — Gary Prahandono, junior computer science major
"My grandma survived lung cancer and my mom survived ovarian cancer. Just be there for emotional support. They need someone strong to be there for them and spend time with them. Cancer-fighting campaigns can be overly commercialized sometimes, but as long as the money is going where they say it is I think it's good." — Danielle Fisher, junior hospitality major
"My grandmother had breast cancer, but she was a survivor. Try to find the positives. It's important to cherish the time you have. I definitely think they (cancer-fighting campaigns) are still important." — Chloe Uyehara, junior radio-tv-film major
"There's no one in my my life that has cancer, but it is in my family. The first thing that comes to mind is Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure. I think some groups have lost focus and use it to show off. It's important to be direct with people and be active about what the actual goal is. I've done marathons and cancer walks, and they really do spread awareness." — Kristen Dava, sophomore industrial and systems engineering major
