Fundraising Update

In honor of PRSSA’s 40th anniversary, we here at UH are working to complete 40 hours of community service. So far we have marched for cancer and volunteered in a Dress Drive for the Domestic Violence Action Center. Currently we are focusing on March for Babies and the Hawaii Foodbank Food Drive.

If you are feeling generous, visit our March of Dimes Team Page and make a contribution toward our fundraising efforts.

This past week we set up tables at Campus Center to raise money for the team. A huge thank you is in order for Sheryl, Brittany, Lora, Bianca, Marichris, Candi, and Mark who volunteered to man the tables. Between the two days we were able to raise more than $150.00 in donations. When you see these PRSSA members be sure to congratulate them on a job well done.

Please continue to fundraise everyone and don’t forget – the walk is Saturday, April 26 at 7:30 a.m. I hope to see everyone there!
