Next Gen is a student organization on campus. Through campus\u00a0involvement, Next Gen will work to raise awareness and educate people on the\u00a0University of Michigan\u2019s campus about ovarian cancer. This is exactly what we\u00a0did during our event, Ovary Fun Night. Going into the night, we were not sure\u00a0what exactly to expect. We were hoping for an enthusiastic crowd to listen and\u00a0share each others\u2019 stories and relations to ovarian cancer. Reflecting on the night,\u00a0we got much more than that. People came to support others, people came to enjoy\u00a0the humor, and people came to learn about ovarian cancer. More people attended\u00a0the event than we were expecting and more money was raised than we were\u00a0aiming for. Guests walked away with full stomachs, arms full of raffle prizes, and\u00a0minds set on helping find a diagnostic test for ovarian cancer.\"Screen
\nWe did not encounter a challenge, more of a few obstacles. One\u00a0example being, we did not coordinate someone to create our\u00a0centerpieces until the week of. Luckily, we were able to find someone to\u00a0do that last minute. This was the first big event my board and I had ever\u00a0put on. With this fact in mind our event went amazingly well. We were\u00a0very happy and proud of all the outcomes. We hope to continue to have\u00a0this event every year. We believe we can continue to improve and grow\u00a0the event each year. We are already thinking of ways to improve the\u00a0event in the future.
\n\"ScreenWe are very grateful for the help that the Barger Leadership Institute\u00a0provided in putting on a successful event for an organization that we began\u00a0only a couple of years ago. We plan to continue working hard to spread\u00a0awareness of ovarian cancer throughout our time at the University and will\u00a0pass the organization on to others when we leave. This was our first big\u00a0event and still preliminary steps to advocating for ovarian cancer\u00a0awareness. But just like many other issues in life, each small step gets you\u00a0closer to the end goal.<\/p>\n
