In the midst of the 100th Year Centennial Celebration, Anderson University has acquired a building from AnMed Health Hospital that will be the newest location of the Anderson University Center for Cancer Research. In an effort to jumpstart the program we are hosting a Cancer Summit conference and the Race for Gold 5k run.
On Friday March 25th from 2:00 to 6:00pm we will be having the Cancer Summit in the Chapman Multimedia Room in Thrift Library. The Cancer Summit will feature Dr. Pamela Peeke as the keynote speaker. She is the Author of Fit to Live and is well known physician and health advocate. She will be joined by a number of oncologists and researchers who will each be presenting different topics of cancer and cancer research.
We invite you to join us for our Cancer Summit as well as dinner afterwards. The dinner will be on campus at Anderson University and will be $25.00 per person. Attached is an agenda of the Summit speakers and their presentation topics. There you will also find directions on how to RSVP.
In addition to the Cancer Summit we are hosting the first annual Race for Gold 5k run. The run/walk will take place on Saturday morning, March 26th at 8 am, and Dr. Peeke will be present to start off the race. We are also honored to have Dr. Doster from AnMed Health Hospital to be our race day speaker. Participants will convene at the Anderson County Courthouse Plaza and take a leisurely route through Downtown Anderson and run back to the Courthouse Plaza for the finale, which includes a special presentation honoring all of those who have battled cancer or may have lost loved ones due to cancer. Race for Gold gives visitors and residents an opportunity to support those who have been affected by cancer and also to support local scientists’ and researchers’ efforts for finding a cure and new treatments for cancer. For more information and to register for Race for Gold please visit our website at www.raceforgold.org .
Please come and run in memory or honor of a loved one who has been touched by cancer! This event will not be a success unless YOU help me spread out the word and forward this e-mail to all your friends and loved ones.
Let’s make this Race for Gold a successful annual event here, at Anderson University , starting with this centennial celebration!
