SHH Chapter at Virginia Tech Receives $5000 Donation

The Virginia Tech chapter of SHH has recently received a donation of $5000 from Kevin McDonagh, a family friend of a chapter member. All of the money will be used to help 21 members of the VT chapter pay for their trips down to Honduras this winter. Many of these students would not have been able to afford the trip without this generous donation. While the chapter has spent most of its time this fall fundraising for the trips, this unexpected donation was the key to its success of sending such a large number of students from Virginia Tech to El Progreso. Many of these students are first-time volunteers who have been very involved with the organization through chapter events. They are extremely excited to finally make the trip after spending so much of their time, effort and money to raise funds and awareness for the cause.
