I'm sure that many of you have noticed
that October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fordham
also participates in this annual international health campaign to
increase awareness and raise funds. As a member of the Accounting
Society Beta Alpha Psi, I am required to do a certain amount of hours
of community service each semester. In order to support the Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, Beta Alpha Psi organized a group to
participate in the annual Breast Cancer Walk in Central Park as a
community service event.
Our group was sponsored by Ernst &
Young, one of the Big Four Accounting Firms. We met at 7 a.m. at a
cafe on the Upper West Side with some Ernst & Young employees to
enjoy some breakfast before starting the walk at 8 a.m. The
atmosphere in Central Park was great. The weather was beautiful, and
there were so many enthusiastic people - even at 8 a.m. on a Sunday
morning - participating in the walk, as well as cheering for the
walkers.
The event was a great experience. It
did not only enable us to give back to the community by raising
funds, but also gave us the opportunity to socialize with our
friends, and network with potential employers.
