Southern Connecticut State University: October fundraisers

October 12, 2013 - We ran in the ING Hartford 5K and Half Marathon at Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT. We created a OneSmile web page with Operation Smile and fundraised online to support our runners. We raised $2,318 (almost funding 10 whole smile surgeries!) by running for a cause! We even created T-shirts for the event OpSmileING @ Hartford Marathon!



SCSU Op. Smilers ran in a 5k, wearing their own t-shirt design, to benefit Operation Smile!Ffrom right to left: MaryKate Zoppi (Secretary), Amanda Felleman (Vice President), Mary Mohyde (President), Taylor Breault (Member), and Rachel Mennis (Member).
October 23, 2013 - We hosted our October Fundraising event "Carve-A-Smile to Give-A-Smile." We held the event on campus in the Student Center, attracting a lot of students! Participation was by donation, so students could decorate a pumpkin for any amount of money they were able to give. We chose to decorate pumpkins instead of carving, providing a large assortment of craft items: glitter, ribbon, sequins, halloween-themed items like spider rings, googly-eyes, stickers, lace tights, paint, and more!
