The brothers of Alpha Sigma Phi at Westminster College raised over $22,000 for the American Cancer Society in its ninth annual "Relay for Life."
"There were 415 registered participants and 25 cancer survivors," said Quay Rosengath, a junior public relations major from New Wilmington. "The brothers would like to thank each of them, as well as our sponsors, for their support."
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 $190,000 over the past nine years.
Sponsors include: Westminster College, Giant Eagle, Westminster Student Government Association, Zambelli Fireworks, Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, Sodexho Dining and Catering Services, and the New Wilmington Volunteer Fire Department.
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.
