Charles River is conducting a virtual 5k fundraising event at the upcoming National Meeting to benefit the AALAS Foundation – “Keep the Pace”!
National Meeting attendees will need to register online first at www.criver.com/keepthepaceAALAS - (Charles River is hoping everyone will register in advance of the National Meeting in order to help keep lines at their booth moving faster.)
Once registered, attendees will pick up their pedometers at Charles River’s booth #729 – or, at the AALAS Foundation booth – then, just start walking and logging steps! J
Attendees will need to stop by Charles River’s booth at some point during the National Meeting to log their steps into Charles River’s computer.
· For every 5k steps completed, Charles River will donate $10 to the AALAS Foundation
· The leading step walker will receive $1,000 grant for their District/Branch for regional activities
The check presentations will be made at the Appreciation Reception, on Wed. evening.
