Funds raised from next week’s Catwalk for a Cause fashion show will go to Student Advocacy for Equitable Recovery – SAFER – the Tulane student recovery project with which Union students worked over winter break.
The event is set for Thursday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
“This fun event embraces the Union spirit of helping others who may not be as fortunate as the students who walk these halls, a feeling shared by students and faculty alike,” said Dana Cohen, the event's fundraising co-chair.
SAFER provides an opportunity for college students locally and globally to volunteer and engage in the recovery of the New Orleans community and work directly with families to help them return home.
“Even though Hurricane Katrina hit almost three years ago, the city of New Orleans remains in need of as much help as it can get, and the student body would like to take part in granting this aid,” said Virginia Taft, fundraising co-chair. “We believe this is a cause that both students and faculty continue to hold close to their hearts.”
Tickets to Catwalk for a Cause are on sale in Reamer Campus Center next week. Checks, made out to Union College Student Activities, may be placed in Union College mailbox 2084.
