Westminster Fraternity "Relay for Life" Online
This year the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity urges participants to sign up online at http://www.acsevents.org/westminstercollegerelay or http://www.cancer.org/relayonline for the "Relay for Life" scheduled Saturday, April 8, from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. at the Harold Burry Track.
"Once you reach the relay site, you go to 'start a team' of your own or 'join a team,'" said William Rosengarth, a junior public relations major from New Wilmington. "Last year we raised just under $21,000, and this year our goal is $24,000."
Alpha Sigma Phi started this event to honor the memory of Dr. Peter Macky, a professor who died of cancer nine years ago and was close to many of the students and staff at Westminster. The fraternity has raised nearly $170,000 over the past eight years.
The concept behind Relay for Life involves teams of 8-15 people taking turns walking or running around the track, relay-style, for 12 straight hours. Each team member is asked to raise donations to support the American Cancer Society's services, programs, and research.
The event features a cancer survivor walk, a luminary ceremony at night where the track is outlined with light to honor cancer survivors or memorialize loved ones lost to cancer.
Contact Rosengarth at (724) 699-1104 or e-mail rosengwq@westminster.edu to sign up a team the old-fashion way or become a sponsor.
