College of Nursing students to participate in American Cancer Society’s 2012 Relay for Life
Students from the University of South Florida College of Nursing are gearing up for the American Cancer Society’s 2012 Relay for Life event. The 18-hour event runs from 6:00 p.m. April 13 to 12:00 p.m. April 14, 2012.
The College of Nursing Student Council (CNSC) Relay for Life Team, led by CNSC Executive Board Vice President Kionna Pitts, is participating to help American Cancer Society (ACS) raise money and awareness as well as help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
USF College of Nursing students (L to R) Amanda Wynn, Tania Cruickshank, & Brittany Cox during Relay for Life 2008. All three are now USF Nursing alums continuing their education at USF working towards graduate degrees.
The College of Nursing team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the USF Track for a collective duration of 18 hours in hopes of raising $1,000. This year’s theme will be “Where in the world is the cure for cancer,” and each team will pick a country they believe will come up with a cure.
“Our country is ‘Bull Country’ because we believe it will be discovered right here at our Moffitt Cancer Center,” Pitts said. “We plan to have a lot of fun, and would love your support. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone!”
