Engineer's for Alex charity team receives a "Top Team" Award from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

2/28/2017

 
Congratulations to all the members of the lab's Engineers for Alex team, which has received a Top Team Award this week from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Engineers for Alex is our fitness team that runs, walks, and bikes to raise money for pediatric cancer charity each September as part of the Alex's Million Miles fundraiser. It's a great cause, fun, and even helps you stay healthy! This year the team raised more than $4500 and logged 978 miles running and walking, placing our 12 person group in the top 10% out of more than 450 teams. These efforts contributed to a nationwide total of more than 1,000,000 miles and donations of more than $950,000. 

Next year's event kicks off this fall, so get your running shoes out and start making your list of friends and relatives who will help you support this great cause. Follow the link to read more about Alex's Million Miles and to join the fight.
