September 11th is a day that will not soon be forgotten. The terrorist acts of this day shocked our community, our nation, and our world. Thanks to the leadership of concerned students, we now have an opportunity as a community to help those in need. Many UVM student organizations and departments have come together and created the "UVM CARES" Campaign to raise at least $25,000 to help the victims of September 11th. To do this, the money raised will be contributed to the Red Cross and United Way "September 11th Fund". We need the UVM community to participate vigorously in order to make the goal a reality. Starting today and running through next Wednesday, there will be boxes set up arouind campus to make a donation. There will be one box at the main desk of all dorm complexes, 2 in the Billings Student Center, 1 in the library and several at the UVM Bookstore. Clubs at UVM have also come together to provide several events to help us reach this goal. Opportunities to give include: ALL WEEK: Buy 50/50 raffle tickets upstairs in Billings near Cook Commons WEDNESDAY: Opening BBQ at Billings 11AM-3PM THURSDAY: Coin drop at the intersection of Main Street and South Prospect Street FRIDAY: Collections will be accepted at the UVM women's soccer game at 3:30PM at Centennial Field SATURDAY: Collections will be accepted on Church Street SUNDAY: We'll be collecting donations at the women's soccer game at 1:00PM MONDAY: Donations will be accepted in the Library.
