Student Affairs sponsors Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Relay for Life team
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's Office of Student Affairs is
sponsoring a team for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life
event scheduled for May 5-6, 2006, with a goal of raising $5,000 or
more for the cause. The annual walkathon fundraiser has been
successful for years in Valdosta as teams decorate themed-tents to
eat and rest in between walking shifts, while enjoying the
overnight entertainment provided by the Relay for Life staff.
The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ team is currently made up of Student Affairs staff members
and a few students; however, anyone can join the team by raising a
minimum of $100 in donations. All participants receive a T-shirt
and are eligible to participate in the overnight event in early
May.
Others can also participate in the cause by attending the First
Annual Campus-wide Kickball Tournament on April 8. This double
elimination tournament will begin at 10 a.m., with check-in at 9
a.m. Entry fees apply, and all proceeds go to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Relay for
Life team. Campus organizations can choose to hold their own
fundraisers, similar to the kickball tournament. Greek Life at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ
donated the entire amount from a recent fundraiser�$2,700�to the
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ team. For more information about the upcoming kickball
tournament or other fundraising efforts for the team, please call
Kassie Kissinger or Brian Roberts at 333-5674.
