Relay for Life- AJS Team "Change"
Whether it's a friend, a family member, or the neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That's why AJS has decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For LifeĻ . It's an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. We know you care about cancer, too, and we'd love for you to join us as part of our Relay team.
At the event, we'll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.
You can get more information about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society by clicking the link http://events.cancer.org/RFLmiamiuOH. Won't you join me in this fight?
Join us or make a donation to our team and help us support the fight against cancer!
Redhawk Hunt- Important Passover Announcement
From RHA President:
It has been brought to my attention that the RedHawk Hunt, which occurs April 18th and 19th, from 8pm to 8pm conflicts with the Passover celebration beginning that night. Therefore, options have been developed to ensure that students will get the opportunity to participate in both. Students will be allowed to leave the event at anytime before the Passover celebration begins while the rest of the team continues on in competing in the event. The second option will allow a substitute to switch in at 4:00PM and finish off the event in your place. Hopefully these options will give everyone the chance to participate in both events. If you would like more information on the RedHawk Hunt please check out our website at www.muohio.edu/murha.
