	August 30, 2024 at 6:17 PM	Approved	The Trevor Project Pin Sale Fundraiser	Allies	08/30/2024	10/01/2024	Recently in the US and across the world, there has been increased hate and violence towards the LGBT community, particularly towards the transgender community. Pauly Likens was a 14 year old transgender girl who was brutally murdered this summer about an hour away from Erie in Sharon, PA. This was the 19th violent killing of a transgender person, and the fourth killing of a transgender teenager, since the beginning of 2024. In her memory and to support future LGBT youth, Allies Club will be selling pins during the entire month of October to raise money for The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a nonprofit organization that does important advocacy work by supporting transgender youth, campaigning to end conversion therapy, and providing resources for LGBT people. Among the many resources they provide, The Trevor Project is also known for being the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people. There will be three pin options for students to choose from. The first is a pin with a rainbow that states "you are safe with me", the second is a heart shaped pin with the progress pride flag on it, and the third is a transgender pride flag that states “protect trans youth”. The pins will be sold for $25 each. The orders will be placed on a google form with money sent via venmo or cash and then Allies club will order the pins and hand them out to students at the end of the fundraiser. Allies Club will reach out to Pauly Likens’ family to obtain permission to make a donation in her honor. If they do not respond or do not allow permission, Allies Club will simply make the donation in memory of the lives of LGBT people who have been lost to anti-LGBT hate.

	August 25, 2022 at 11:23 AM	Complete	The Maternal Health Crisis: A Conversation	SNMA	08/25/2022	09/07/2022	Our event is going to be a discussion about maternal healthcare in the US.

	March 9, 2026 at 5:05 PM	Approved	The Great Erie Bake Off	Allies	03/09/2026	04/28/2026	Overview: 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.

There will be a sheet to track the type of donations and who donates. On November 21st, we will be bringing the donations to the drop off site.

	October 26, 2018 at 1:03 PM	Approved	Teddy Bear Clinic at the Festival of Trees	SOMA	10/26/2018	11/23/2018	This is one of the events at the Festival of Trees hosted by St. Vincent's Hospital and it is specifically for kids.

	October 14, 2019 at 8:20 AM	Approved	Teddy Bear Clinic	SOMA	10/14/2019	11/30/2019	AHN Saint Vincent Hospital ask SOMA each year to provide volunteers for the 35th annual Festival of Trees event (November 30- December 1st, 2019), an event that benefits the hospital and Children’s Miracle Network.

Students will help the kids with crafts, pass out cookies, help with Santa- there are a variety of times and opportunities; but most importantly, students will provide free "health checks" and "treatments" for the children's teddy bears.
	January 31, 2024 at 5:30 PM	Approved	Table Talk on Addiction Medicine with Dr. Morgan	SOMA	01/31/2024	03/05/2024	SOMA's Opioid Task Force will be hosting Dr. Richard Morgan, DO over Zoom to present on addiction in medicine. He will be discussing awareness of how the opioid pandemic can adversely affect anyone including physicians and the consequences of addiction. He will share his own story about his struggle with addiction, the consequences of addiction, and how it affects one’s life in addition to sharing the signs of addiction among healthcare workers and sharing how to help those who suffer from chemical dependency. We think this would be a beneficial perspective to provide students as this is an ongoing issue we will face regularly in clinical practice. The event will be over Zoom to properly accomodate any COVID precautions that could develop in the coming months. About Dr. Morgan: Richard Morgan is a D.O. who graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998 and completed his residency in PM & R at NYU Medical Center in 2002. A common dental procedure exposed Dr. Morgan to the world of opiates, which changed his life forever. A series of bad choices and unfortunate circumstances fueled by his addiction led Dr. Morgan to a federal indictment and, ultimately, a 14-year federal prison sentence. Dr. Morgan's remarkable story will show how this addiction evolved, the choice that led to incarceration, and the turnaround that had led him to become a full-time clinical instructor at his medical school where it all began. He now spends his time not only educating the future doctors of America, but Dr. Morgan continues to share his story with the student population, as well as clinicians everywhere, in the hope to not only continue to bring awareness to the the "original" pandemic that has plagued our nation for the past twenty years, but to educate other healthcare personnel on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of addiction, and the resources available to help them.
