SOMA DO Monster Dash

🎃 Event Overview

MSUCOM SOMA (Student Osteopathic Medical Association) is hosting its annual D.O. Monster Dash 5K fundraiser to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation. The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a wonderful organization that works with pediatric oncologists to fund the most promising research to combat childhood cancer and support survivors. We are also partnering with Hearts for Henrih Alikaj, which is a foundation founded in memory of an MSUCOM student who tragically passed away a few years ago. The proceeds they receive will go towards the American Heart Association and the MSUCOM scholarship his family has started in his name.
