November 3, 2025 at 4:32 PMApprovedPediatrics Club and Womens Health and Medical Society - LECOM Embroidered Sweatshirt SalePediatrics Club11/03/202511/12/2025Pediatrics Club and WHMS will be partnering to hold a LECOM embroidered sweatshirt sale. We have been working with a local shop, Creative Imprints, in addition to Matthew Breeze to ensure the proper LECOM logo (from the powerpoint file) was used to develop mockups. We will be offering students 2 different sweatshirt options, one being a 50/50 cotton/poly blend crewneck (cheaper option), and a second (more durable option) Champion cotton/poly/black poly power blend, moisture wicking, rib-hemmed crewneck. Both sweatshirt options will have the LECOM logo embroidered across the center of the chest. Sweatshirts will range in raw price from $32.30-$46.55 depending on how many of each sweatshirt option are purchased. The $40 and $55 cost per sweatshirt permits us a cushion for fundraising of about $7-$8 per sweatshirt purchased (divided between both clubs). Students will have the ability to select from a range of color choices as well as from sizes S-3XL when purchasing. See attached mockups for reference. The sale will be open to students until Wednesday November 12th. Sweatshirt orders will be placed with Creative Imprints on Friday, November 14th. Sweatshirt orders will be completed (per Creative Imprints representative Abigail). This permits Peds Club and WHMS Executive Boards to distribute sweatshirts during finals week so students may purchase them as gifts for the holiday if they choose. We will plan to disburse sweatshirts to students during the day on Tuesday 12/15 & 12/16 in the cafeteria. Final fundraising amounts will be determined once all payments have been collected, and once raw costs for the sweatshirts have been used to pay Creative Imprints. Pediatrics Club and WHMS will then evenly split the proceeds for fundraising purposes.

March 9, 2026 at 5:05 PMApprovedThe Great Erie Bake OffAllies03/09/202604/28/2026Overview: This fundraising event will bring the bakers of our medical school together to compete to win a prize! With the submitted baked goods, we will have students pay $4 to “judge” the desserts and we will count up the votes and crown a winner of each category! This event is in collaboration with SOMA and Mental Health Task force so all costs and will be split between the groups and money raised will be split between SOMA and Allies. Details: We will have students sign up to bake for a chance to win a $15 Lucky Bean (local coffee shop) giftcard in their category. There will be four categories: Brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and gluten free (which can be anything as long as it’s gluten free). We are capping each category at 10 submissions, although we don’t expect this many bakers. A baker will sign up to bake 1 dozen of their chosen item and submit it to the tables set up in the cafeteria by 7:45AM on April 28th (Day of the event). We are requesting two tables in the back of the cafeteria on April 28th to be used the whole day. The bakers cannot use any tree nuts to avoid common allergens. The baked items submitted will be cut into 4 pieces. (ex. Typical size brownie will be cut into 4 pieces or cupcake cut into 4 pieces). This is so each judge can try potentially 10 of their baked item category. The baked goods will be on the back tables from 7:45am till the event starts at lunch. They will be covered with a sign saying it’s for this event. The actual event will begin at 11:30AM and end at 12:50PM so both the first and second years and any faculty can participate in judging. The judging form will include: name, category judging, rate 1-5 for taste, appearance, texture, and the “IT factor” for each baked good in the category, and “have you paid $4 cash or Venmo”. Any student can pay $4 to “judge” the competition and will pick one category to judge. For instance, a student can judge the cupcake category. They will pay 4$ and receive a judgement form and ¼ of each cupcake submitted. They will try each one and rate each cupcake they try out of 5 in the following “taste, appearance, texture, the “IT factor”. They will then submit the form back to Allies member manning the table. If a student wants to judge multiple categories, they will pay $4 for each category they’d like to judge. The form has check marks to ensure no negativity can be written in and it’s purely a number value. The ultimate rankings will be private and only the winner of each category will be announced publicly the following day. A member of the Allies club will be manning the tables the entire event to collect the money, hand out judgment forms, and ensure judgement forms are submitted back. Our club supervisor will be present. Allies will be providing forks, knives, plates, tablecloths, and napkins as to not disrupt the cafeterias supply. The cafeteria’s operations will be unaffected by this event as all items will come from this club directly. Allies will be ensuring the tables are maintained and clean up entirely when this event concludes. Any leftover baked goods will stay on the back tables covered up with a descriptive sign until class is out at 5pm to be picked up. Any left food items will be taken away by Allies Club as to ensure a proper cleanup. The attached flier, when approved, will be printed and hung in the locker room to advertise for baker submissions and spread awareness for students to judge the event.
November 9, 2018 at 12:29 PMRejectedOverflow Shelter Foot ClinicSOMA11/09/201811/28/2018Over the past few years, LECOM SOMA has conducted a foot clinic at the overflow homeless shelters on Monday evenings between December and late March. The overflow shelter is sponsored by a local place of worship that switches locations every 2 weeks. These shelters offer overnight shelter to the homeless of Erie during the winter months. The overflow shelter is run by volunteers from the sponsoring church as well as local community organizations including Community Health Net and EUMA: Healthcare for the Homeless Partnerships. The role of the volunteering LECOM student includes providing foot care to individuals. This includes washing and drying of the feet, pulse measurements, testing for paresthesias, and identifying cuts/ bruises/ signs of infection. A H&P is taken of each individual and recorded in files that are monitored by Faith Community Nurse, Barbara Lewis, who uses the information for podiatrist and physician follow-ups. Additionally, other nurses are on staff during the entire duration of the foot clinic for consultation by the medical student. Not only are the medical students providing care to the individual, but they are also conveying a fresh, empathetic perception of the healthcare system (as most of these individuals have been burnt by the system). A training session will be held on Wednesday, November 28th at 6:30pm. Students will be introduced to the community and specific problems faced by the homeless population and what is expected of them at the foot clinic. Attendance at this training is required for participation. The first foot clinic will be held on December 3rd and the event runs from 7-9:30pm. The last scheduled date is March 25. A group of 3-4 students (plus myself or Alanna Grafius: Local Healthcare Disparities Coordinators) will volunteer two Mondays in a row followed by a new group of students.
