On Nov. 13, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) held their first-ever joint Cornhole Scrimmage at NCI’s Shady Grove campus to engage staff in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) efforts.
This event offered the opportunity for these two institutes to come together for the CFC and for their staff to connect, especially since approximately 100 NCATS staff moved into the Shady Grove building over the summer. Amber Lowery, NCI’s deputy director for management and executive officer, kicked off the event with welcome remarks, and two local charities shared how the CFC supports their impactful work for the community, particularly for furry and feathery friends.

Although this was the first event of its kind for NCI, NCATS hosted this annual cornhole event as a key part of their CFC efforts for several years pre-pandemic. With a competitive spirit in the air, NCATS showcased their well-honed skills, claiming both first and second place in the staff rounds. However, Lowery and cornhole partner Dr. Sanya Springfield, NCI acting deputy director for strategic engagement, clinched the coveted Cornhole Scrimmage trophy for NCI in the leadership round. They faced tough competition against Bekah Geiger, NCATS acting executive officer, and Andrew Kelly, NCATS acting deputy executive officer.
This event prepared NCI and NCATS leaders to take on other institutes at the CFC Cornhole Throwdown on November 21. After the scrimmage, Bekah presented the trophy and medals to the winners, capping off a brisk but fantastic afternoon of friendly competition and community spirit. — Kelly Lawhead, Chris Maurer, Megan Moretz, Patricia Voysest

More than 125 NIH staffers gathered June 6 at NCI Shady Grove for NIH’s annual Take-a-Hike Day.
NCI Acting Executive Officer Amber Lowery welcomed staff and NCI Director Dr. Kimryn Rathmell kicked off the event with inspiring words and a reminder that “physical activity is good for your body but also good for our overall mission…good for our mental well-being and health… and for making connections. Everything that we do here is about the people, and how we work together as a team.”
