	September 6, 2023 at 2:41 PM	Approved	Charity Miles Fundraiser	Christian Medical and Dental Association	09/06/2023	10/01/2023	CMDA is doing a fundraiser event for the entire month of October to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project, which is an organization dedicated to helping veterans recover from physical and mental wounds that they suffer from as a result of service to our country. Charity Miles is an app that you download on your phone, which raises money as you walk, run, or bike. The more miles you do, the more money is raised for Wounded Warrior Project. We are also going to send out a form for the people who are interested in participating, and then on the first day of the event we are going to send out the team name for everyone to join and then start walking, running, or biking. Everything is done on the app called Charity Miles, and the money is sent to the charity directly through the app. The participants will just make an account, join our team, and then work out on their own to raise money for the charity. This event will be done entirely on the participants' own time and can be joined from any location, so no COVID mitigation protocols are necessary.
	July 26, 2023 at 10:33 AM	Rejected	Presque Isle Clean Up Series	ACOS-MSS	07/26/2023	09/30/2023	ACOS, SOMA and Sports Medicine have partnered to put together a Presque Isle clean up volunteering event for all MS1 and MS2 students. This event would be through Adopt A Beach which is an organization through Pennsylvania that does monthly beach clean ups. They have specific days and beaches they clean, but for groups that cannot make those dates, they allow them to pick up supplies and assign them a beach. There will be a sign-up sheet and I will pick up the necessary supplies prior to the event (trash bags, gloves etc.). They will also assign us a specific beach (6, 8, 10 or 11) based on their needs at that time. We would like to do two clean up days this semester - September 30th and October 21st from 9am-11am. This event would provide students with an opportunity to give back to their community and help keep our beaches clean. Our counterparts in Elmira recently had a similar event which was a success, and we are hoping to continue to give back here in Erie. These hours will also count towards touch point hours, LECOM hours and SSP hours. Our hope is that we can establish a relationship with Adopt A Beach and continue these events in the spring as well. The educational purpose of this event is to continue to build connections within the community and to give back to Erie. Furthermore, here are the COVID protocols that I ensure are upheld at all ACOS events: 1.) We will have a full roster of every individual who has signed up for the event 2.) We will have a check-in for all members and staff who attend the event 3.) We will sanitize before and after the suturing clinic and mentorship discussion to avoid the potential spread of COVID 4.) We will create a screening form for all members that sign up and require that they disclose any signs and symptoms, travel history, and close contact history prior to attending. 5.) Masks and social distancing will be implemented in accordance with LECOM protocol

The organizers of the event are calling for as many volunteers as possible to help with "set-up, clean-up, registration, water stops, Promise Garden and so much more" for their upcoming event (Walk to End Alz website).
