A fun event to benefit an important cause
The
members of ACP's chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma, the international professional
pharmacy fraternity, held a 24-hour teeter-totter marathon November 30-December
1 to raise money and awareness in conjunction with World AIDS Day.
LKS members held the marathon from 4 p.m. November 30 through 4 p.m. December 1 in the ACP Student Center lounge. They also held a bake sale and 50-50 raffle, sponsored a ribbon sale and encouraged all members of the ACP community to make donations. The funds raised will benefit a Capital Region family affected by the AIDS virus.
Lambda Kappa Sigma is an international, professional pharmacy fraternity open to undergraduate and graduate pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists. Since its establishment in 1913, LKS has grown to more than 22,000 members, with 44 campus chapters and 36 alumni groups chartered internationally. The mission of LKS is to promote the profession of pharmacy among women and advance women within the profession by developing its members as individuals and leaders through the support of fellow members while encouraging a high standard of professional ethics and scholarship.
