"YOU HAVE TO GET LOST BEFORE YOU CAN BE FOUND."
Jeff Rasley
EVENT INFO
Fun Facts:
I love to dance (it's no SYTYCD, but when there's a beat, I groove), love boba, like going to Disneyland (lol), and like living a healthy and fit lifestyle... with the occasional KBBQ.
Why he loves the H&J Scholarship:
"The H&J Scholarship creates this fun and active bonding experience amongst peers, upperclassmen, lowerclassmen, and faculty outside of our little 4-story bubble on Jefferson Blvd. And need i say more: scholarship winnings. :)"
What he is passionate about:
"Giving to those who are in need and less fortunate is something my mother has instilled in me since I was little, and I have become very passionate about it."
Why he chose Ostrow School of Dentistry:
One of the main reasons why I chose USC is outreach, and there is a variety of outreach organizations with different opportunities.
Position Held:
He is currently on the Dental Care For Children Leadership Team.
Event Details:
The distance of the event is 8K (5 miles) up Black Star Canyon, Silverado in Orange County and then a leisurely hike back down to the trail head for food and refreshments. Students choosing to hike up just part of the trail can join in with the group coming down from the top of the trail. Dr. Eggleston's hiking time to the 8K mark on the Black Star Canyon trail will be approximately 1 hour 11 minutes (average pace of 4.23 mph 6.80 Km/h). He, and everyone at the 8K mark at that time, will start the hike down picking up students on the way.
How the funds are disbursed:
1. The pot will be divided into equal shares. Each student participant will receive one share of the scholarship funds raised for this event. THEREFORE, everyone is guaranteed a winner -- just come out and participate!
2. The student with the fastest time to the 8K mark will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Second fastest time will receive a $500 scholarship.
3. Students finishing ahead of Dr. Parish Sedghizadeh in the jogging group will receive 3 shares of the pot.
4.Students finishing ahead of 1 hour to the 8K mark in the jogging group will receive 2 shares of the pot.
5. Students in the hiking group finishing ahead of Dr. Eggleston will receive 2 shares
The amount of each share will be determined by the final pot amount, the number of participants, and the number of joggers who beat 1 hour, those who beat Dr. Parish to the finish line, and the number of hikers who beat Dr. Eggleston. Get in shape, earn some money for tuition, make new friends among the Trojan Dental Family, and much more!
