Phi Eta Sigma Donates $640 to the Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research
Phi Eta Sigma officers presented Rob Denell, Director of the Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research with a check on December 5, 2011. The funds were raised from a Bowl-A-Thon benefiting
the center held at the K-State Student Union Recreation Center on November 1. In 2010,
Phi Eta Sigma members voted to support the center for their philanthropy. The Bowl-A-Thon
was the first of what we hope will be an annual event.
