14 Days To Go: Makin' Some Moves!

With March beginning to wrap up and April just around the corner, Relay For Life is fast approaching! In the last couple weeks, along with the individual efforts of our team members, we have raised a significant amount of money through various organized fundraisers.

The Networking Auction: Was a huge success! With 14 College of Pharmacy staff participating in this inaugural event, we were able to raise $3,085! What an outrageous amount of money!

Mongolian BBQ Fundraiser: The guest grillers this year included Ashley Hunt, Dr. Carver, Dr. S. Kraft, Bernard Marini, Jr., Rachel Lebovic, and Maho Hibino.

P3's Brian Dekarske, Brian Meredith, and Bernie Marini rush to buy

their tickets after escaping the torrential downpour outside.

P1s, P2s, P3s, P4s, friends, professors, and deans gathered between 6-9pm on the dreary Tuesday evening of March 15th to enjoy Mongolian BBQ's delicious create-your-own stir fry. The entire event raised a total of $452. Way to go everyone! A great big thank you to Rachel Lebovic and Ashley Hunt for planning the annual fundraiser!

What's going on in the next 2 weeks?

Right Now: Penny Wars! Jars for the P1, P2, and P3 classes will be in the lounge, floating around classrooms, or in Pat's office (across from the Dean's office) where you can put your spare change or bills into. Coins count for positive points (ex: a quarter = +25 points) and bills count for negative points (ex: $1 bill = -100 points). Get your money in, this ends on Friday April 1. Last year the class of 2011 won, who will be the new winner?

Blue Leprechaun Bar Night: Thursday April 7. Stop by for some early evening drinks or a late night capper!

T-Shirt Sale: Our goal this year is to sell 100 shirts or more, so order yours for $10 now! This bright yellow with bright blue lettering shirt will be an essential fashion item for April 9th. Let everyone know you are apart of the Pill Pusher's team! See Dom Rutherford or order in the lounge from 12-2 (generally) until Wednesday April 30th.

Bucketing: It's not too late to sign up! This is an ongoing event until April 7 and there are still many spots open. It's an effortless and easy way to raise some money, just donate an hour of your time with a buddy to stand on a corner on Main Street.

Currently, we have raised 49% of our $15,000 goal with $7,385.13! This is an outstanding effort for the College of Pharmacy. There are still 2 weeks leading up to the big day and this is more than enough time to raise even more.
