On July 8-9, a team of 37 Ithaca College faculty, staff, students, alumni, family and friends participated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life Tompkins County 2005 as part of the IC Hope team. Despite the rainy weather, a number of other IC Community members stopped by the Ithaca High School track to walk, talk, and support the team.
This is the fifth year that IC Hope has participated in the relay, and the team again exceeded its fundraising goal by raising almost $11,000. IC Hope raised more money than any of the other 80+ teams that participated! In addition to those who took turns walking the Ithaca High School track, three team members -- Bill Pelto, Brian Martinson, and Stan Seltzer -- spent the entire 15 hours walking!
A number of Ithaca College community members participated on a variety of other teams, and we would like to congratulate all on their success! We would also like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of one of this year's relay co-chairs -- our very own Deb Mohlenhoff, coordinator of community service and leadership development.
The IC Hope team would like to thank everyone who supported us! If you are interested in learning more about the 2006 Relay for Life, please contact Lynne Pierce.
