The March Miracle event at Norup helps to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  The money raised helps fund cancer research for a cure to leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and melanoma.  This is only one of many great causes.  Your assignment for this month is to write a one to two page paper on an organization (other than our March Miracles event) that uses a physical activity to help raise funds.  Include: the name of the organization; the activity the participants do; why you chose this event and why the money is raised.

Criteria

- Papers should be of high quality, informative, 1 – 2 pages in length.

- Double check your spelling.

- A typed paper is preferred.

This homework is due on Tues., Jan. 13^th. You may turn it in before the due date, but it will be late (lower grade) if not turned in when you come to class.
