Shinerama Updates from McMaster University!


From McMaster Campaign Coordinator Alyscia McMullin:
"So here is what is happening at McMaster! Towards the end of June the McMaster Student Union held their annual golf tournament known as the McMasters. Last year was the first year they partnered with Shinerama, and this year we partnered again and were able to raise around $5000!! It was a great day of fun in the sun, and then we came back to 1280 the on-campus bar for a lovely steak dinner as well as a raffle table put together by me and my Shine Team.

As for other summer events, our on-campus society known as the SOCS went to the Pride walk and raised around $700. As well, a few of our other faculties have been going to Hess Street and doing bar blitzes on the weekend. I don't have any photos right now, but when I get them I will send them along. At this point with online donations as well as cash we are sitting around the $10,000 mark for funds raised so far!!
 

In August we are looking forward to the faculty of Kinesiology holding their charity volleyball tournament for Shinerama."
 
This is a great example of how you can use summer to roll out some powerhouse fundraising events! Keep up the awesome work McMaster!
