Pharmacy School Spring Fest - April 8, 2006

The 2006 Pharmacy School Spring Fest was held on Saturday, April 8th from 11am-3pm. Even though the weather was chilly, the day was a huge success! The day was composed of a live DJ, free food and drinks, games such as Hollywood Squares, The Weakest Link, and Moe's Southwest Pyramid, free give aways including two-$200 Best Buy Gift Cards, and much more! 14 student organizations were represented with booths offering fun games and prizes related to the Wild Wild West theme. Albertson's, the Chao Center, CVS, Kroger, Osco, and Walgreens joined us for the day as well!

The day concluded with the winner of the "Kiss the Pig" contest and the new student leadership awards program. The Spring Fest committee spent the week prior to the Spring Fest, as well as the day of, collecting monetary donations for Amanda "Mandy" Firnhaber. She is a clerkship student that was on her rotations when she was involved in a horrible automobile accident. Her family is in a great deal of need for financial support, and we wanted to help her out the best we could. The money was raised via a "Kiss the Pig" contest. The faculty member that had the most money in his bucket at 2:30pm on April 8th got to kiss our special Spring Fest guest, a cute little pig! At the end of the day, $1006.33 was raised for Mandy. The pig's name is now "Mason", as Dean Mason was lucky enough to get to "Kiss the Pig!" See pictures below! Click here for video!
