Relay for Life - Coe College (BONUS POINTS)

Join the Coe College Relay for Life Team in support of the American Cancer Society. Sixty years ago, 1 out of 3 people diagnosed with cancer survived at least 5 years. Today, thanks in part to the work of the American Cancer Society, 2 out of 3 will survive. Let’s make it 3 out of 3. Join us to help finish the fight.
On Friday, June 7 join in the fight against Cancer as our community comes together for the annual Relay for Life event at Kirkwood Community College to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Sign up to be a part of this year's Coe College team by clicking here. Coe College already has a team and has paid the registration fee, all you have to do is sign up as a team member. Follow the step by step instructions and once you are registered invite your friends to join as well. Last year, Coe College raised $2,260 for the American Cancer Society. Let's raise the bar this year and raise even more.
 

100 years ago, the American Cancer Society began the fight of a lifetime. Today, you can help finish the fight. Charlie Kohawk is ready to finish the fight, are you?

As an added incentive, award yourself 50 COrE Challenge Bonus Points for signing up!

If you have any questions, please contact Megan Fiala at mfiala@coe.edu.

Weekly Challenge - March 18th-24th

Apologies for the late notice on this.  The focus this week is on your BACK!

Although this article was written with the tennis player in mind, it will serve as a resource to you (links to back exercises within):
http://kohawktennis.blogspot.com/2012/02/health-and-wellness-wednesday-is-back.html

The challenge is to spend 10 minutes of your day focused on strengthening your back.  Should you choose to attend my fitness class (MWF at noon), you will have met your goal for the day!
