IC PT Student Club Raises Money for PT Foundation
Physical Therapy students are working hard during 2008-09 to raise money for the Georgia State - Marquette Challenge to support rehabilitation related research conducted through the Physical Therapy Foundation. IC is one of 65 PT programs nationwide that are participating in the challenge this year. The goal of the challenge is to raise $175,000 and this year the IC PT Student Club plans to raise at least $3000. This will more than double the previous record amount of $1400 raised and contributed last year. The club's efforts are being lead by the senior class representatives: Co-presidents Lindsey Johnston and Michelle McManus, APTA Liaison Shane Hamman, and Event Planners Jackie Barbano and Alexa Bancel.
This year, the club organized the first annual "Bomber Blitz" 5K road race and walk. This event, held in Butterfield Stadium on October 26, had 200 participants and raised over $2000. They have other events coming up in the spring, so stay tuned on how to help out.
