CKUVM Students Pose at a Mardi Gras Celebration
One Campus Kitchen will get more than salad dressing from Newman’s Own this March: The Newman’s Own Foundation is granting 5 to 25 thousand for one standout, do-good organization per campus in the America East Conference.
The Foundation partnered with the America East Conference to choose one leading, service-focused student group – that is closely affiliated with a non-profit – at each member university. Other nominees include University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Project Health, which connects low-income patients and their families with resources they need to be healthy and University of Albany’s Students of Albany Against Cancer, which raises awareness for early cancer prevention and detection.
Participants from the nine schools in the conference will be evaluated on the level of the group’s involvement with an affiliated non-profit as well as the degree it reflects Paul Newman’s spirit of creativity and commitment. Judges will also consider mission and programs, and the impact the grant money will have on the populations served.
The Campus Kitchen at the University of Vermont was nominated in connection with the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf and the grant would help fund gleaning and nutrition programs.
One student group will receive a grant of $25,000, $15,000, and $10,000, and six will get $5000. The Campus Kitchen is among the three finalists to receive between 10 and 25 thousand. Grant recipients will be profiled throughout America East’s men’s and women’s basketball championships at the University of Hartford, March 4-7.
The Campus Kitchen at University of Vermont’s volunteers are keeping their spoons crossed to win the grand prize of $25,000 in an awards ceremony March 7!
