The Pittsburgh-Marquette Challenge is a grassroots fundraising effort coordinated and carried out by PT and PTA students around the country each year. The money is given to the Foundation for Physical Therapy to assist in the mission of funding physical therapy research.
Georgia State Physical Therapy students sold 250 tickets to the April 19th Braves game. Students, friends, family, and faculty had a wonderful evening at Turner Field. While the Braves lost to the Cubs that night, the Foundation for Physical Therapy won, as the Georgia State students raised $1000 to support critically-needed PT research.
Combined with other fund-raising events, the students have raised over $1400 this year for Research. Well Done, PT Students! -
