SERVICE HOUR OPPORTUNITY
Seeking volunteers for the Liberty Hospital Half Marathon on Saturday, March 7th. I'm reaching out to see if any St.Pius students or staff might be interested in volunteering again this year. The race itself is easy to help with, but your efforts significantly impact the hospital and community as a whole. All funds raised from the race go towards the Liberty Hospital Foundation's LiveWell grants, increasing wellness in a variety of ways within the Northland. Whether it's a small group of 5 or a large group of 20 plus, any help is appreciated. For more info or to sign-up, please click this link.
