THE CLASS OF 2007 SUMMER NOTES!
No news this week.

 

 

TO DR. LYNNE OSTROW AND HER DAUGHTER, DR. OLIVIA OSTROW ROUATT

For participating in and completing the grueling 2-day, 60-kilometer Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.   The weekend was a huge success raising more than $2.6M for breast cancer programs!  Lynne and Olivia’s team, The Sweater Bumpers raised more than $20,300!  Lynne personally raised over $2500 and Olivia over $3700!  Their team was comprised of 3 mother/daughter groups and a family friend.   What a wonderful accomplishment to celebrate one’s own physical fitness and stamina by helping those who are in need of their strength and commitment. 

Here they are, all pretty in pink:  Lynne is on the far left and Olivia the far right.  Olivia’s mother in law, Sharon, is in the middle of these wonderful ladies!

THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY  RELAY FOR LIFE IS COMING UP!  June 15-16, COLISEUM
WVU SNA will have a tent there making tie-dye. Volunteers are needed to walk and also to help fundraise.   This is a terrific event to participate in.  WVUH, HSC, UHA and the Cancer Center will all be participating again this year.  Last year this Health Care at WVU team raised more than $19,000!  Way to go!

 


What all can we do to help out this year?  Here are a few ideas –
1) fundraising prior to the event,
2) tshirt tie-dying during the event,
3) item donations that we can sell at the event,
4) help with sales,
5) help with food prep/sales,
6) walking the track,
7) camping out at the track,
8) emotional support for those that have been affected by cancer,
9) hanging out with fellow Nursing faculty/staff/students,and
10) any idea that you have not listed here.

Faculty, staff and students wishing to participate can visit the website or contact Rachel Bell at rbell@mix.wvu.edu.   Donations can also be made right on line.   See you there!
