Fall 2011- CKUVA Semester in Review
February 6, 2012 – 5:21 PMHello everyone!
Though we haven’t been as virtually active on our site, CKUVA has made some tremendous strides this past semester as far as sustaining our weekly deliveries, transitioning to our new home in O’Hill smoothly and running some superb fundraising events. Here’s a quick summary of what we’ve been up to.
Q’Doba Night – October 2011
A nearby Q’Doba, located on the University’s historic “Corner” generously allowed us to distribute vouchers for the night of October 4th. For every customer who presented a voucher after purchasing a burrito and a drink on the evening of October 4, Q’Doba agreed to donate $1.50 for the cause. While we didn’t bring in the 105 guests our Facebook event projected, we did (with a lot of on-grounds promoting) raise $86.00!
Turkeypalooza 2011- November
CKUVA partnered with member organizations of the University Inter-Sorority Council and the University Salsa Club to raise nearly $150 in donations for Thanksgiving basket dinner kits to some of our local client agencies’ affiliated families. We would like to express the biggest thanks to the Salsa Club Executive Board for holding a raffle for the cause during their fall showcase and the following sororities: Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, and Tri-Delta.
Special Thank Yous
The exec board would like to thank all of our amazing volunteers and shift leaders- we literally cannot function without you. A special thanks to our Food Hub volunteers who consistently partnered with the organization in exchange for fresh food for our program. Also, thank you O’Hill staff and our donors for your cooperation and generosity.
Finally, here are some photos of our new location and our volunteers on shifts!
