Fling<br />
Kiss the Pig Contest Raises<br />
Money for Mandy<br />
Spring Fling concluded with the winner <strong>of</strong> the “Kiss the Pig”<br />
contest. The Spring Fling committee spent the week prior to the<br />
event, as well as the day <strong>of</strong>, collecting monetary donations for<br />
Amanda “Mandy” Firnhaber. Mandy, a 4th year PharmD student,<br />
was featured in our Winter <strong>2006</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Purdue</strong> Pharmacist<br />
after suffering devastating neurological injuries during an<br />
automobile accident on her way to her clerkship rotation<br />
this past December.<br />
The School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong> faculty, staff, and students wanted to<br />
do their part in helping raise financial support for her family.<br />
The money was raised via a “Kiss the Pig” contest. At the<br />
conclusion <strong>of</strong> Spring Fling, $1,006.33 was raised for Mandy,<br />
and the faculty member who had the most money in his or<br />
her bucket had to kiss the guest <strong>of</strong> honor. The pig has been<br />
affectionately named “Mason” in honor <strong>of</strong> the winner, Holly<br />
Mason, Interim Dean <strong>of</strong> the School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong>. You may<br />
