This past Friday, my Alpha Pi Phi sisters, pledges and I participated in Brock’s Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research. I’m so proud to say that we beat our goal and raised over $600!
Raising money by doing the Relay for Life is a very important cause to me, as well as many of the other sisters. In fact, I am unsure that I know someone who hasn't been affected in some way or another by cancer. My Grandpa and Pepere have passed away due to cancer and my Grandma and older Sister are both cancer survivors. It has a horrible affect on families and friends so raising money for this cause could not be more important to me! On the Relay for Life website, they talk about this night celebrating cancer survivors and paying tribute to loved ones and I couldn’t be happier to be taking part in this event, especially with my sisters!
At the event, we stayed up for 12 hours walking the track and participating in events such as yoga, movies, playing basketball, a presentation by Dan who is a cancer survivor, playing cards, hanging out with the ΖΨ brothers and tons of other activities. We also got to listen to the entertainment which was amazing!
As a founder of APP Sorority, one of our first philanthropy events was a Relay for Life and when our philanthropy chair, Alexa, announced that this year we were supporting this cause again, I couldn't have been happier! It's amazing to have so many supportive girls raising money for such an amazing cause :) I’m so proud to be a part of this awesome and strong group of girls because we are making a difference and raising awareness! Altogether, everyone participating at Brock’s Relay for Life raised $11,001.41!
Phi Love,
