The Administration and Finance Division is continuing
its efforts in the fight against cancer by
participating in the 2016 Indiana County
Relay for Life Event to be held from 4:00 p.m. Friday,
May 13 until 4:00 p.m. Saturday, May 14 at the
White Township Recreation Complex.
We ask for your
support and participation as we join forces
to raise funds for cancer research, to encourage cancer resource
networking, and to help educate Americans about cancer
prevention and early detection. All of us have
been touched by this terrible disease either
ourselves, or through a family member or friend. The Relay for
Life is one way that we can join together to fight
this disease.
The Relay for Life is
a 24-hour event, where each team is to have one walker
on the course at all times. We are always looking for
team members! Team members will sign up to walk for
an hour or more at the event, man the IUP Trackers
tent, and/or donate food for our team walkers. Team members are asked to seek pledges as well as participate in
other fundraising events. Thanks
to the generosity of area businesses, rocking chairs
will also be available, so you may choose to “walk or
rock”! Please know that your family and friends are
welcome to participate.
If
interested, please register for our team.
All cancer survivors are
invited to attend the Survivor Brunch, which immediately follows the survivor
lap, beginning Saturday, May 14 at 10:00 a.m. If you are a cancer
survivor and plan to attend the survivor’s brunch,
please download and complete the Survivor Registration
form and return it to the address on the bottom of the
form by April 29, 2016.
If you would like to
order a luminaria in honor of, or in memory of a loved
one, please complete the luminaria order form (pdf) and
return it with payment to Sutton Hall, room G8 by May 4, 2016. Please make
