Funds Raised to Benefit Cancer Research and Scholarship in Memory of Beloved Member of the BC Law School Community

4/04/02-The Boston College Law School community will call attention to the fight against cancer and raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund when it holds its Seventh Annual Race Ipsa Loquitur five kilometer charity road race on Saturday, April 20, at 10:30 A.M. About a hundred law students, faculty and administrators will run, and walk, the course that winds for more than three miles through the City of Newton, Mass.

In addition to collecting contributions for cancer research, race proceeds will benefit the Dean Brian P. Lutch Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was established at the law school in memory of Brian P. Lutch, a Newton resident and former associate dean of the law school who in 1995 succumbed to complications from a bone marrow transplant at the age of 47. Cancer claims the lives of more than 550,000 Americans each year making it the second leading cause of death in the United States. The memorial scholarship fund assists Boston College law students who have financial need due to debilitating illness.

The charity road race is being sponsored by the school’s Law Student Association (LSA). The LSA is the elected student government at Boston College Law School and the largest student organization within the law school community. In addition to sponsoring the annual Race Ipsa Loquitur charity road race, the LSA offers a broad range of social, charitable, educational, and professional activities for students.
