Hello,
My name is Munir Pathak and I am Special Events Chair for Colleges Against
Cancer at Georgia Tech. We are working to gather volunteers to participate and
raise funds for a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an annual walk held in
Atlantic Station. Could you please forward the following message to your
undergraduate/graduate student lists and fellow faculty/colleagues? I really
appreciate your help. Thank you very much!

=======================================================================
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an annual 3-5K noncompetitive walk held
at various locations throughout the country. Atlanta is one of the major cities
involved, contributing to a total donation of $60 million last year toward the
fight against breast cancer. This is your opportunity to honor breast
cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness
to help end this disease.
This year's event will be held on Saturday, October
24 at Atlantic Station. Georgia Tech Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) is searching
for motivated individuals, groups, and organizations to join us in this event.
The goal is to create one big team from Georgia Tech and compile everyone's
fundraising efforts into one large donation.
By joining the team, every individual/organization will have the responsibility
to raise a minimum of $15 per person participating. The top two individuals or
organizations that raise the most money will receive an award for their
efforts. Some ways money can be raised include through personal/family/friend
donations, individual fundraising efforts, or through a joint fundraising
effort on campus with CAC. If interested, more information will be available
about fundraising.
If you or your organization is interested in participating, please contact me
at mpathak3@gatech.edu for further information. If
you wish to join the team right away, please sign up at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY10SouthAtlantic?pg=entry&fr_id=19944
and join the team named "Georgia Tech CAC". The deadline for
organizations to join will be Tuesday, October 6 at
9pm. This is to ensure that everyone has enough time to fundraise.
So join the team. Join the fight. Make a difference in the lives of those who
need it. Make strides against breast cancer!
Sincerely,
Munir G. Pathak
