Hurricane Harvey Fundraiser and Good Collection
The destruction Hurricane Harvey has wrought on Texas and Louisiana has been far-reaching, and the full extent of the damage is not yet known. SBA, BLSA, and the Federalist Society, along with the support of many other student organizations, have organized an event to raise funds and collect goods for Hurricane Harvey relief to help our southern neighbors. These groups will be tabling the next two weeks to collect monetary donations (in the form of cash, check, and credit card) and certain goods (including socks, underwear, feminine supplies, and toiletries). Donation times are set for today and tomorrow and September 11-13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the main lobby. You can also bring your donations to the CSO office throughout business hours on Thursdays and Fridays the next two weeks. There will be a raffle at the end of next week.
