	June 27, 2019 at 8:17 AM	Cancelled	Erie Pride Parade Volunteer Table	Allies	06/27/2019	06/28/2019	Allies has a table at the annual Erie Pride Parade this year, and will be providing individuals with free blood pressure screenings and discussions on other health topics. Dogs provided by Dr. Dunbar will be there as well to make the table more approachable. We also plan on asking these individuals about their experience with healthcare in order to improve ourselves as future physicians.
	October 5, 2022 at 7:25 PM	Cancelled	Erie Otters Night	Class of 2025	10/05/2022	11/05/2022	We want to use our class funds to buy tickets for the Nov 5th otters game. The purpose of this event is to allow for a break from our studies and facilitate a mental health break for our students. Additionally, this would help enhance the camaraderie of the class of 2025 as we head into our final semester of didactic learning. Details: I was thinking 30 tickets based upon a current ongoing poll within the class (could be less). Once the results of the poll is finalized later this week, I will have a set interest of the number of students interested in tickets. The prospective date is Nov 5th at 7 pm. I have spoken with an Otters representative and he said: "Our ticket prices are $14 center ice, $12 west end or $10 east end." If we reserve 30 tickets the cheapest option would be $300 with the most expensive being $420. CARP plan: as this is an event during the (hopefully) low covid incidence rate in erie county, we would not have a specific COVID plan in place. However, each student will be sitting in a designated section surrounded by other lecom students to ensure that the spread of any potential diseases can be limited. Additionally, we will have an exact list of students that attended the event in case there is a need to contact them afterwards. Again, this would be an excellent way for LECOM students to get out and enjoy the many great events that Erie has to offer while also serving as a mental health escape for a few hours!
	December 12, 2023 at 5:51 PM	Approved	Erie Otters Game	Class of 2026	12/12/2023	01/06/2024	As a class board, we want to sponsor tickets to an Erie Otters game on Saturday, 1/6/2024, in efforts to boost class morale and provide a community bonding experience for the Class of 2026’s last semester together! We are offering free tickets to the entire class, limiting ticket availability to 100 in efforts to control attendance. We would purchase as a group to keep everything seated together. Dr. Kulesza is going to chaperone the event for us. We think this would be a wonderful opportunity for the class to spend some quality time together and be a nice event to start our last semester.
	October 25, 2022 at 12:29 PM	Expired	Erie Oncology Wellness Center - Wig & Beauty Salon Item Drive	Oncology Club	10/25/2022	11/07/2022	The Erie Oncology Wellness Center is an independent non-profit devoted to helping patients undergoing radiation and/or chemotherapy. One aspect of their care is a Wig & Beauty Salon. They have plenty of wonderful wigs, but lack in the 'beauty' side of make-up and skin care patients. We are planning on gathering supplies to help these oncology patients dealing with hair and skin problems. As for the products gathered, I have this baseline from the clinic: "It seems that the makeup line that would be best is NYX. They are vegan-free and priced fair compared to some of the other brands. For lotions and such, Neutrogena is recommended. Both brands are sold at Ulta. The products we would like to have on hand are face soap/cleaners, face lotion, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadows, eye liners, brow pencils or temp tattoos, lip balms/sticks. Because we have women of all colors, a variety would be great. We don’t expect you to get everything, but any donation of these products would be most helpful as we stock the ‘beauty’ portion of our Wig & Beauty Salon. We are most appreciative of your willingness to help. We would be happy to provide a tax receipt to you if you give us a value on what you’ve donated since we are a non-profit." The drive would run from November 7th to November 14th. Every item donated will count as 0.5 hours for a maximum of 3 hours (as per previous events).
	April 20, 2026 at 10:50 AM	Approved	Erie Children's Museum Sunscreen Event	SOMA	04/20/2026	05/09/2026	Erie Children’s Museum Sunscreen Event This interactive experiment at the Erie Children’s Museum focuses on teaching children and their families about the importance of sun protection in a fun, hands-on way. Kids create colorful bracelets using pipe cleaners and UV-sensitive beads, which change color when exposed to ultraviolet light. After making their bracelets, participants apply sunscreen to selected beads and then use an ultraviolet flashlight to observe how protected beads react differently from those without sunscreen. This visual demonstration clearly shows how effective sun protection is at blocking harmful UV rays. To extend the learning beyond the activity, children receive take-home reminder cards about wearing sunscreen. Informational cards are also provided for parents, offering guidance on how to protect their children’s skin and reinforcing the importance of consistent sun safety habits. SOMA will have a sign up sheet with a maximum of 20 volunteers to help staff the table, help kids with any part of the project, and answer questions. The event is hosted by the Erie Children’s Museum on May 9, 2026, from 11 am to 2 pm, during their dedicated STEAM times. The Children’s museum will provide pipe cleaners, beads, and sunscreen for the project.

Each item will be worth 0.5 volunteer hours, with a maximum of 2 volunteer hours possible for each student. I have emailed the Security Office asking for their approval to place boxes in the front for the students to place their items in. The Oncology Club will be picking up the donations daily at 5pm and will be placed in Shahnaaz Sakkaria's car. The donations will be dropped off on April 17th at 10 am to the Erie Cancer Wellness Center by Shahnaaz and two of the club members assisting her. We have also partnered with SSP with 2 volunteer hours counting towards that club as well.

	September 4, 2019 at 9:10 AM	Rejected	Emma's Footprints	Womens Health Club	09/04/2019	09/09/2019	Emma's Footprints is a local non-profit that helps families who have had a fetal demise or infantile loss. They provide free counseling, support, burial services, and financial help in these difficult times. They also spread awareness and bring people in the community who have dealt with the same tragedy together to create a local support system. Last year, WHC got involved with this organization and will be volunteering with them again this year. Emma's Footprints is going to talk about their mission since we will be working with them as well as their personal stories of losing a child so we can better understand how to handle these sensitive subjects when we are physicians and maybe even parents someday.
	March 19, 2019 at 7:40 AM	Approved	Emergency Medicine Club Tourniquet Sales	Emergency Medicine	03/19/2019	04/16/2019	This event is aimed at preparing our students for one of the worst possible scenarios they may come across in their day to day lives. Building off of the Wilderness Medicine Club's first aid kit sale, it is common to carry a tourniquet alongside your kit for dire circumstances. Current research shows the significant decrease in traumatic mortality when a tourniquet is applied to uncontrollable extremity bleeds. We hope that by running this fundraiser our students will be safer and better prepared for the unforeseen circumstances that have unfortunately become all too common in today's day and age. The cost for each unit will be at most will be $29.99; however depending on number we are looking at ordering in bulk to reduce cost for our students.
