2012 Relay For Life of University of Michigan Flint | Relay For Life

2012 Relay For Life of University of Michigan Flint | Relay For Life

Above is a link for Psi Chi's team page for Relay for Life. Please donate some money or join our team. We need all the help we can get.

University of Michigan - Flint's Relay will be held Friday March 23, 2012 (starting at 10am) through Saturday March 24, 2012 (ends at 10am). Right now Psi Chi cannot get a 'campsite' or participate in the event the full 24 hours due to prior commitments or scheduling conflicts of participating members. We need more help! Please join our team and contact Psi Chi secretary Jacquelyn McGlinchey (Jackie) via email - jshaymcg@umflint.edu - if you are able to participate the day of the event. In order to have a Relay team at the event the entire time, we really need people to take some shifts Friday during the day (10am to 6pm - any amount of time you can give) and would like to have enough participation to have at least 2 people (one to participate in the activities and one to be at our campsite) representing Psi Chi throughout the event.

Psi Chi is still raising money for Relay for Life, even if we cannot be at the event the full 24 hours (if we cannot get enough participants). Please donate on our Relay page or stop by our table in UCEN on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11am - 3pm. There you can purchase Relay feet for only $1 or a Luminaria to decorate in honor of a loved one for $10. We also have a contest going for anyone who donates - enter to win a whole lot of gumballs (great for studying or exams - chewing helps keep you alert). Check it out!!

I am not sure how factual or scientific the above linked article is but definitely something to think about :)
