9th Annual Arts and Letters Fundraising Drive


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 fundraisier is to raise money for mammograms to those in need in St. Joseph County. Over the past 8 years we have raised more than $52,500!


As has been done in previous years, we will have a team competition made up of the College's halls and buildings.

Team #1 - 2nd. Floor O'Shag, Crowley Hall, Riley Hall, and the ISLA office
Team #2 - 3rd. Floor O'Shag and Performing Arts
Team #3 - Malloy Hall, Haggar Hall, and Medieval Institute (This includes the Family and Children's Center)
Team #4 - Flanner Hall, Coleman Morse and Decio Hall and Undergrad Dean's office

The College will make available incentive items for you to give away for a donation. The available items for a donation of:


$5 - Pot holder
(there are only 100 available so please get your orders in fast!)





$5 - A string backpack




$10 - Notecards (artwork by Barbara Roche) these are packs of 8

$10 - Metal travel mug




$35 - Arts and Letters long sleeve shirt
$10.00 will go to the fundraiser. The shirts are available in pink, blue, tan and yellow. Mo Marnocha will order these shirts every Pink Wednesday during the month of October, please have your orders in by noon and send them to al-race-to-raise@listserv.nd.edu. If you order a shirt or when taking orders, please let the individual know that you will need two checks: one for $25.00 made out to Graphie-Tees, and one for $10.00 to United Health Services, (sorry for this slight inconvenience).


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


If making donations by check, please make payable to: United Health Services. Know that these funds will be routed through Secret Sisters, another program Notre Dame supports.






LET THE GAMES BEGIN in the RACE TO RAISE THE MOST!
