UMW Chapter Hosts Multiple November Events

SHH's chapter at the University of Mary Washington has had a very busy November. Their first event was a Poker Tournament which included prizes donated by Marriott Hotels, the local Fredericksburg community, and the UMW Bookstore. The chapter earned $300 in funds which, while not a huge amount, helped with team bonding! The event was also a success in that all funds raised went directly towards service trips; all costs were recouped by donations.

The second event held was a Cheeseburger in Paradise "Building a Dream" night hosted by two brand-new SHH members. This rookie duo, Michael Behrens and Mia Santina, raised a whopping $600 bucks! The night consisted of a Silent Auction and Raffle, with top prizes including a Landshark Surf Board, an autographed baseball from a pitcher of the Washington Nationals, and an autographed photo from a DC United Soccer Club defensive player. These two new SHH members are doing big things!

In December, the chapter will be having a Holiday Cocktail Party on the 5th at University Cafe! There are 400 confirmed guests on Facebook, and all funds raised will go towards service learning trips in December. There will be a $5 cover at the door, and the University Cafe is really excited and supportive of our cause.
