In
group communication our group made of Brianna Fortuna, Pareese Hankerson,
Keenan Mitchell, Christopher Smith and Keaton Tuller is doing a volunteer
project. Our group has decided that we will volunteer for Relay for Life, which
is an organization for support and fighting of cancer. In total our group will
successfully complete 25 hours which is 5 hours per group member.
The
organization Relay For life collects donations from the public in hopes for
finding the cure of cancer. Our group will be at the event on April 26th,
2014 at the SEFCU arena. The organization lets people come together from the
public, from survivors, to family of lost loved ones to just people supporting
the cause. Teams that participate in Relay For Life are asked to walk around
the track in support of the organizations efforts. To follow the idea that
cancer never sleeps, Relay For Life asks that at least one team member per team
remain on the track at all times. Our group decided to work with Relay for Life
for our community service project because some of our group members have
already worked for the organization themselves and feel comfortable with the
organization.
SUNY Albany’s Link for Relay For Life:
The
work Relay For Life allows our team to support a very important cause. Some
members of our team are personally affected by this terrible disease. Also,
some of our group who are not personally affected have participated in this
event because they are a supporter of what Relay For Life wants to accomplish. When
our group completes the event everyone will feel happy and satisfied with
completion of the event.
