St. Lawrence University First Year Program students are participating this Sunday in the GardenShare Fight Hunger 5K. Each of the First Year colleges (Brown, Campbell, Heaton, Herrick, Holmes, MacAllaster, Romer, Romoda, and Reiff) will send students to run in this event as well as raise money by getting friends and family to sponsor them. Students interested in participating will have the opportunity to secure sponsorship from family/friends via GardenShare's online fundraising tools and will also collect “spare change” from other students in their residences.
The college with the top number of participants and the most money raised, will “win” the inter-college competition. The prize will be a Sergi’s pizza party in a lounge of the residence hall where the winning team lives.
