Aren’t new PJs just wonderful during the holidays? We think so, and we’re working with United Way, during their annual Pajama Drive, to provide over 1,600 local children and families in crisis with a new pair of jammies. It seems like such a small thing, but sometimes the comfort of a small gift can make a big difference.
Now through Nov. 30, you can drop off your donation at the food bank in Roberts 109. Or, mail your donation to campus box 6148.
If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu).

Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,” at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.
Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.
The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.
Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.
