On Monday, April 26, students in the MG315 Entrepreneurship class presented a check for $2072.63 to Dr. Bill Cooke, a volunteer with Haiti Medical Mission of Wisconsin. The check represented the proceeds from the sale of over 230 Red Cards to the Winona community. The class would like to thank the students and staff of SMU for supporting the project.
Throughout the semester, a number of fundraisers have been held by faculty, staff and students to benefit Haiti relief efforts.
An approximate total of $7,242 has been raised at Saint Mary’s through a variety of activities and events including: International Showcase, a faculty/staff chili cookoff, Hope for Haiti, the Cardinal Plunge, Dance for Haiti, an open mic night, a jewelry sale, the Red Card, Let’s Do Lunch and Jeans for a Cause, and a local musical performance by student Steve Schmidt.
Money has been divided among a variety of causes including a Haiti orphanage, the Red Cross, the Brothers of the Christian Schools - LaSalle Haiti Earthquake Appeal, and the Haiti Medical Mission of Wisconsin. Thanks to everyone who so generously donated.
The last ‘Let’s Do Lunch’ tailgating party sponsored by athletics raised $324. The Volunteer Committee hosts these fundraising events that are open to all faculty and staff. Stay tuned for “Let’s Do Ice Cream” events this summer.
The Volunteer Committee has presented a $2,100 check, and students are sending a $900 check from the Polar Plunge. Both checks will benefit an orphanage in Haiti.
The Entrepreneurship class is wrapping up their project of selling special discount cards benefiting the Haiti Medical Mission of Wisconsin.
The “Red Card,” which is being sold for $10, includes reduced prices on merchandise from 19 local businesses including Westgate Bowl, Mugby Junction, Fantastic Sams, Tres Compadres, Electric Beach, Golden China, Spa Panache, Chula Vista, Jefferson’s, Warpzone, Perkins, Jimmy John’s, Ground Round, Sammy’s Pizza, GQ Hairstyling, Country Kitchen, Timber’s, Papa Murphy’s and Blooming Grounds.
The card can be used until March 1, 2011, and its value is not limited. If the card is used at each business one time per month, the approximate annual savings to cardholders is $800. For a family of four, the estimated annual savings are doubled.
The fundraiser benefits Haiti Medical Mission of Wisconsin, a team of volunteer medical staff that travels to Haiti several times each year to provide free medical care. A student in the SMU class is from Haiti and has served as a medical translator for doctors and nurses in this organization.
The Red Card will be sold during the following events:
• SMU baseball — home games — April 17.
• Earth Day — Unity Park, SMU table — April 17 from 2:30-7 p.m.
