Hey guys! We are group B-6 in Group
Communication. Our group members are Michele Canale, Mackenzie
Cary, Ali Carbone, John Anthony and Jackson Ruggiero (Group B-6). For our
service-learning project, our group will be working with the American Cancer
Society Relay for Life. Each member will individually raise money for the
charity, which we will then pool together and submit as a group to the Relay
for Life chapter at UAlbany, collectively donating around 30 hours of our time.
The Relay for Life is an
organization within the American Cancer Society that raises money for cancer
research, awareness, and the entire fight against the disease. Specifically,
the Relay for Life is an overnight community fundraising walk. Teams of people
gather around the track and take turns walking laps throughout the night. Relay
for Life allows members of the community to form teams and actually participate
in walking the event, or they allow teams to raise money and donate to the
event.
Each individual in our group has
different schedules, so we decided that the best way to donate our time and
raise money for the Relay for Life would be through individual efforts.
Mackenzie and Michele both donated a portion of their tips earned from bartending
to the Relay for Life. John, Jackson, and Ali each spent five or more hours of their
time raising money, asking for donations around campus and at their jobs. On
Saturday, April 27th, our group will bring the money raised to the
Relay for Life registration at SEFCU Arena on the UAlbany campus.
Our contributions and donations to
the Relay for Life will help the American Cancer Society’s goal in finding a
cure for not just one type of cancer, but also every single cancer. Specifically,
our group will help UAlbany’s Relay for Life reach their goal of raising
$100,000.
