Monetary donations are one of the most efficient means to help those in need.  Students, faculty and staff will have an opportunity to assist in this effort by donating their everyday change [more if they can] to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.  All donations will go to the American Red Cross.  Piggy banks will be located throughout the campus in various offices and on all residence floors. 

“A Ticket for a Cause”
Date: Ongoing throughout fall semester
Sponsor: Office of Student Life and Student Government Association

Our goal through this effort, will be to raise a minimum of $1,000 to be donated to the American Red Cross to assist in the efforts to restore the quality of life of those affected by Hurricane Katrina.  The Office of Student Life and the Student Government Association will identify a few large scale events being sponsored by our office and will donate 100% of the profits of all ticket sales.  Some these events include: Wicked on October 18, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on November 16, and the Winter Magic Dinner Dance on December 4 and The Nutcracker on December 8.

Some events are subject to change.  Please contact the Office of Student Life at (212) 277-5170 for more information.
