Breast cancer survivor Margaret Potter will tell her story Sept. 29 in the Alumni Room, Atwood Memorial Center.
Eldest child of the late President Earl H. Potter III, she is a data scientist in Minneapolis.
She is an honorary survivor for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising walk Oct. 15 at St. Cloud State.
“Cancer Conversations with Margaret Potter” begins at noon with the “Pinked Out Picture” photo opportunity. Breast cancer survivors and supporters of breast cancer research will gather on the Atwood Porch for a group photo. Pink apparel is encouraged. Pink boas are fabulously optional.
Potter’s presentation, Q & A and story-sharing time will follow in the Alumni Room.
Kim Orn ’82 will provide information about American Cancer Society fundraising for breast cancer research and programs. She is senior market manager for community engagement at the society’s St. Cloud area office.
