This week the George Fox team for “Race to 2025” is in its last stages of preparation for the adventure race (taking place over fall break). On Friday morning, our team of four students will be leaving for Montana to compete with other college teams in an outdoor adventure race with eternal impact.

Before we leave we need your help! As part of “Race to 2025” our team has committed to raising more than $2,000 in donations. This will go directly to funding an active Bible translation project in Cameroon.

Look for us this coming week, selling donuts in the Bruin Den or doing a dollar drive across campus.

If you have a heart for global missions and you want to be a part of bringing God’s Word to unreached people groups, join us in raising money for “Race to 2025.”

Although you can’t get free flu shots at our Health and Counseling Center (because it is not a contracted Regence or Kaiser provider), Kaiser members can go to Kaiser to get yours free, and Pioneer members can go to practically any pharmacy/grocery in town for a free flu shot.

You just need to ask first if they are a contracted provider for Regence BCBS and show your insurance card. If the answer is yes, your flu shot is free (except for that little bit of “ouch”).
