In mid-October, Penn State Schuylkill hosted its Week of Hope, a series of fundraising and awareness events to combat breast cancer and raise funding for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, which displayed its powerful "67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania" traveling photo exhibit at Schuylkill from October 8 through 21.
Andrea Solinski, Penn State Schuylkill's lab supervisor, is credited with bringing the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition's 67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania traveling photo exhibit to Penn State Schuylkill. Solinski is a breast cancer survivor and, at the exhibit opening, she shared her story.

David Argall joined Penn State Schuylkill and the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition for the coalition's on-campus exhibit opening of "67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania." Argall committed in his remarks to supporting legislation requiring insurance companies to cover mammograms for women with dense breast tissue.
