As most of you know, the month of OCTOBER is the College of Arts and Letters annual fund raiser in the fight against breast cancer. For those new to the College, this fundraiser is to raise money for mammograms to those in need in St. Joseph County. Over the past 8 years we have raised more than $37,000!
As has been done in previous years, we will have a team competition made up of the College's halls and buildings. Check out what some of the departments are doing to raise funds. Click on the links below:
Team #1 - 2nd. Floor O'Shag, Crowley, and Riley
Team #2 - 3rd. Floor O'Shag and Performing Arts
Team #3 - Malloy, Haggar, and Medieval Institute (This includes the Family and Children's Center)
Team #4 - Flanner, Coleman Morse and Decio

This year, Wednesday will be our Power of Pink Day and ask that everyone wear something pink!It is up to the teams to promote the fundraiser. Remember, to think outside the box when promoting. This year you may use the ALSEC listserv to promote your fundraising idea. The Dean's are very excited about the fund raiser and have come up with some ways that they will raise money.
