Spring Update

Spring semester is wrapping up and it has been both exciting and busy! Our Philanthropy team just wrapped up 60Kday at the University of Minnesota! We partnered with the Habitat for Humanity student group and held a fundraiser in hopes to raise $60,000 for a family to receive a new home! Our event took place in front of Coffman Union on April 12. Several committee members from each student group rallied together and encouraged students, groups, and faculty to donate towards 60Kday! Once a person donated, they received an “I Donated!” sticker that served as a coupon at local restaurants and stores around campus! Our philanthropy team was responsible for creating awareness around the university by various advertising techniques like writing on sidewalks and whiteboards around campus! We also worked with local businesses to see if they would be willing to donate gifts. The Philanthropy team had a great time working together on this project! The team was great and I loved working with them! They all had great attitudes and were fun to be around! As PRSSA comes to a close this spring, I am excited to announce I was elected Account Executive for next year! I also have several interviews for some internships this summer! Keep those fingers crossed!
