The day-long event will consist of 54 campus events, 14 donation events, and numerous visits to children’s hospitals where Love Your Melon ambassadors will arrive dressed as superheroes, handing out hats and visiting with children undergoing treatment. These initiatives will help raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Follow along with the adventures and events at www.LYMDAY.com.
