Hello,

My name is Gage Ornduff and I am happy to be representing Christian Campus House this year in the annual Trine University Big Man on Campus Pageant. The goal of this event is to raise money to support breast cancer research at the Vera Bradley Foundation. It means a lot to me that you are here to offer your support for a cause that I so deeply care about. If I reach my goal I will be donating my hair to a charity that makes wigs free of charge for children suffering from hair loss from things such as cancer.

Although I am privileged enough to have never lost a family member to breast cancer, I have suffered the loss of family friends and teachers who were very close to me. I would like to dedicate my page to my high school Spanish teacher, a three-time breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed again during my sophomore year of high school and sadly lost her fight in 2018. She was a kind soul who understood the gift of generosity, and would spend her free time tutoring cancer patients who could not leave their house. Since then, I have donated towards breast cancer research yearly in her memory.

Please join me in supporting the Vera Bradley Foundation with your own donation to fund some of the biggest, boldest, newest ideas in breast cancer research — ideas that often times don't qualify for traditional funding, but have the potential to transform the treatments of tomorrow. 

For more information about the Vera Bradley Foundation, visit their website at verabradley.org.

Thank you so much for donating whatever you can!

God Bless
