We will have some of our PHA members speak about how to get involved into specific Research Programs.  Afterwards we will be going to blaze pizza for our PHA Blaze Pizza Fundraiser. This is a great opportunity to get to know the PHA board and to interact with your fellow PHA members. I mean who doesn't like Blaze pizza right???

This is an annual trip that PHA participates in by taking a bus to Mexico and volunteering with underprivileged children.  Thanks! and don't hesitate if you have any questions :)!!
