Midwestern University held a class competition to raise funds for the American Red Cross, a pasta lunch to raise funds for Save the Children, and a supplies drive for donation to a clinic in Haiti sponsored by Sharing Hope International.

The University raised $1,487.50 for donation to the American Red Cross, $777.50 for donation to Save the Children, and many boxes of supplies for the clinic.

Thank you to everyone who participated in these efforts to fundraise for Relief in Haiti. A special thank you to: Sarah Blatti, a first-year Physical Therapy student, and her class for helping organize various events on campus and to Chartwells and Student Services for donations and facilitation of these projects.
