Kappa Kappa Gamma’s “Jog for Jill” to raise awareness and donations for lung cancer research
In association with the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, Kappa Kappa Gamma will host its first annual "Jog for Jill: A Breath Away from the Cure" at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at the Kroeber Fountain.
This summer, twenty-one year old Jill Costello was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer. Despite the diagnosis, she remains an active member of the women's crew team and her sorority and will graduate on time this spring. In order to raise awareness of Jill's plight and lung cancer, all proceeds will go to the Bonnie J. Addario Foundation, under Jill's name.
The 5K jog will route through the UC Berkeley campus and city streets. Registration begins at 1 p.m. and the shotgun will sound at 2 p.m. The event will end with a celebration and Superbowl party at 3:30 p.m. in the Bear's Lair.
Registration for the event is only $10. To register for the event online, please visit http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=337404.
