PINK OUT Wednesdays at OFTC!
2025-10-01
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the fighters, remember the lost, and stand with the survivors. It’s a time for awareness, education, and action — because early detection saves lives.
We wear pink not just for visibility, but for strength, hope, and support. Let’s continue to uplift one another, share knowledge, and encourage regular screenings and self-checks by wearing PINK every Wednesday in October. We also encourage everyone to pick a Wednesday and walk a lap in honor of a survivor or someone who lost their battle with breast cancer.
Share your photos with us at studentlife@oftc.edu.

One person can make the difference.
Join OFTC and communities across the nation in recognizing Red Ribbon Week, a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of drug use and promoting healthy, drug-free lifestyles. The Red Ribbon Week serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities, educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
Celebrated each year in late October, Red Ribbon Week inspires us to be brave and be drug-free and serves as a powerful reminder that ordinary Americans nationwide contribute significantly to their communities every day by embracing a drug-free lifestyle.

Fentanyl Awareness Programs

Join OFTC for an important and potentially life-saving event: The Fentanyl Awareness Program, designed to educate our community about the rising dangers of fentanyl and how we can work together to prevent overdose deaths.
Fentanyl is a drug up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, and the proliferation of the drug on its own and mixed with other drugs is the driving force behind a surge of fatal and nonfatal overdoses across the U.S. Don’t miss this presentation to break down the hype and help us understand what fentanyl is, why it’s so dangerous, and what can be done to protect yourself and others from its deadly effects.
