2011 Race Has Ended

The 2011 Race to Raise the Most has ended on a successful note. Every team worked very hard to earn funds to help those in need of mammogram screenings and/or diagnostic mammograms in St. Joseph County. This year the teams raised a total of $8,730.74. Great job everyone for all your efforts.

1st place went to Team #1 with a total of $2,480.68 winning the lunch at Legends. Team #1 consisted of Theology; Medieval Institute; Psychology; Center for Children and Families; Philosophy; and Center for Philosophy of Religion.

2nd place - Team #3 raising a total of $2,348.35. (Theology; Medieval Institute; Psychology; Center for Children and Families; Philosophy; and Center for Philosophy of Religion).

3rd place - Team #2 with a total of $1,650.35. (English; Ph.D. in Literature; 301 DCL; Classics; German and Russian Languages and Literatures; Romance Languages and Literatures; Film, Television, and Theatre; Africana Studies; Hesburgh Program; College Seminar; University Writing Program; Reilly Center, Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures and the Honors Program)

4th Place - Team #4 raising a total of $1,396.16. (Anthropology; American Studies; Economics; Faculty Services; Sociology; Cushwa; Computer Applications; Review of Politics, Irish Language and Literature; the Undergraduate Office, A & L Computing; and the Center for Ethics and Culture).

The Dean's office also raised an additional $855.20.

In the last 11 years the College of Arts and Letters has raised almost $90,000.00. We truly have made a difference in our community. A huge thank you to all in the College who participated in the Race and to those who so kindly donated.

Congratulations again to Team #1, your hard work paid off! Enjoy the thrill of victory and your lunch at Legends! And don't forget our challenge for next year: we will compete against Mendoza College of Business!
