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 at 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
