January Alumni Newsletter
ONLY ONE MONTH UNTIL BOBCATHON!
5k in a Day
Hey Alums! 5K in a day is right around the corner, beginning at 7pm on January 31st and ending at 7pm on February 1st. If you have yet to create your FirstGiving page, it would be a great fundraising opportunity for you to make one before 5k in a day! If you are struggling as an alum to raise money for BobcaThon a couple of things you could do in your work place are have $1 jeans day, a bake sale or even hang a sign in the staff break room explaining what BobcaThon is and that you will be participating in this awesome event. We will have more ideas and information coming soon so be on the look out!
