The Disaster & Emergency Students Society (DESS) in collaboration with the BU World University Service of Canada (WUSC) Club collected a total of $6,105 for Haiti Relief. This amount was presented to the Canadian Red Cross and in turn matched by the Federal Government.
Students from DESS and WUSC hosted a collection table, bake sales, and visited classrooms throughout campus to notify the BU community of the facts and endeavors taking place to help Haiti. A raffle and social were held at Houston’s Country Roadhouse to assist with fundraising. In addition to the DESS and WUSC efforts, the BU Biology Club held a plant sale which initiated an additional $125.
The final total donated from BU to the Canadian Red Cross for Haiti Relief was $6,230.
