In the spirit of awareness and giving, students hit the courts against faculty and staff in the fourth annual “Hoops for Haiti” fundraiser Wednesday, March 13, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the ACC. The format is five-on-five basketball, and students have formed ten teams to compete against the adults.
“Though three years have passed, many Haitians are still suffering from displacement and disease and can use our support,” says faculty member Peter Kahn, who founded the event a week after the earthquake in January 2010. “Many students know someone who works on campus, or through their own families, who was affected by the earthquake.”
“Hoops for Haiti” is an energetic evening and a great event for all. All proceeds (cash or checks only) will go toward Haitian support efforts.
