Fight Back!

Heyy guys,

So this weekend was pretty fun I must say. On Friday, it was Relay for Life. So many organizations come together to walk from 7PM-7AM to support and donate money to cancer foundations. It was awesome to see how many people came and supported the cause. Altogether, we raised about $62,000 for cancer reasearch and patients! It was participating in community service at its finest! While burning calories, we were all raising money for cancer! Yay! The members of Tri Sigma really enjoyed participating in Relay for Life, because we were able to spend quality time with each other, playing board games, eating a lot of food, walking together. It was an awesome time all around.

On Saturday, IGC hosted a Safe Spring Break Dance Party. Instead of going out on an ordinary Saturday night, they had a dry dance party to promote awareness about alcohol abuse. There was a DJ and lots of great music! One of the most interesting and creative ideas, was giving each participant a wristband. When a participant wanted a drink, they were checked off a spot on the wristband, so you could keep track of your drink intake. Without realizing how many you are actually intaking, drinking ten cups of water or iced tea goes quickly. Therefore, it was an example of how you could easily have ten alcoholic beverages within a matter of an hour, without realizing how much you actually drank.

Well, I hope everyone has a safe and fun St. Patrick's Day!
