Attention all law students and friends,

As if you did not need more reason to show up to play kick ball tomorrow,  all players will receive community service hours for the time that they are there!

Rain or shine we will be at Buchtel fields and we will make sure tomorrow is a fantastic event raising money for a worthwhile cause.

Akron Law Student Bar Association will be hosting a kick-it tournament on October 27,  from 12:00 to 4:00 at Buchtel Fields.Kick-It was founded by a 10-year old cancer patient with a big dream- to cure cancer by playing kickball. Now a national fundraising program, Kick-it raises money for pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer research. Funds raised benefit children’s cancer research across the country. Kick-it partners with national medical advisory boards to identify the most promising research studies and projects.

Sign up sheets are still posted outside of the SBA office.  There is a $10 per player fee and this money will go to the kick-it organization in order to continue funding cancer research.  We welcome everyone to come out and showcase your kickball skills!  Food and drinks will be provided.

All sign up sheets and cash or checks can be brought to Buchtel Fields Saturday at noon. We look forward to seeing everyone out on Buchtel filed having fun and doing something for a great cause at the same time!

Want to see one of your favorite professors in costume next week?  Which ever professor raises the most donations will dress up to teach class!  Participating professors have chosen which charities they wish their funds to be donated to.  Don’t delay, donate today!!!  Donations will be accepted between 12-2 today and tomorrow in the student lounge.

The executive board of GSLA would like to thank everyone for coming out to the Charity Drag Show.  Thanks to your donations to our amazing performers, we were able to raise well over $500 for the Trevor Project so that they may continue to offer help and support for LGBTQ youth and young adults across America through their crisis and suicide prevention programs.
