Links for a cure fundraiser

As one of our fundraisers for the event "Survivors in Pink," we have sold several paper chain links that people can write either a name of someone who has survived breast cancer or who has passed away. It is a great success so far and I am so thankful to have so many people contribute. All of the money collected will be going towards the event and breast cancer research for the "Faith, Love, and Hope," a cancer survivor group in Milledgeville, reaching towards a cure and helping cancer patients afford medicine.

Practicum event moving right along-"Survivors in Pink"

My first practicum event is probably one of the best practicums and one of the best experiences in college so far. I am working on this practicum with my lovely roommate, Leslie Spamer, and also with Kendall Stiles who works in the GIVE Center. Along with these two spectacular ladies, there are several volunteers that are willing to help me out and every single one of them is fantastic! This is my first event and by the end, I will have learned so much and gained a lot of experience.  I am planning an event in honor of breast cancer survivors around the area of Milledgeville. The event will be called "Survivors in Pink." I am SUPER excited about it and we are all working extremely hard on this to make it the perfect night for these survivors. I will be updating more about it soon and will eventually follow up with pictures!
