Eleven years of fundraising and more than $80,000 raised! For those new to the College of Arts and Letters, during the month of October we have an annual fundraiser, known as the Race to Raise the Most. The Race is a competition between various halls, floors, and buildings throughout the College, consisting of teams who compete to raise the most funds. The funds raised are used for those in St. Joseph County in need of mammogram screenings and/or diagnostic testing. To date we have helped 187 women and men. Last year alone we raised $11,911.The Race to Raise the Most begins on October 1st and here is the breakdown of the teams:
Team #1
2nd Floor O'Shag, Crowley Hall, Riley Hall, ISLA, and The Reilly Center
Team #2
3rd Floor O'Shag, Performing Arts Building, and CSLC
Team #3
Malloy Hall, Haggar Hall, the Family and Children's Center, Medieval Institute and Geddes Hall
Team #4

Please keep in mind "team effort". Designating a team captain makes it easier to coordinate your efforts with other members on your team. If all participate and work together, the more you will raise!
Winners of the "Race" will have lunch at Legends paid by the College and will have the satisfaction of knowing they have made a HUGE impact on so many lives in our community.
