As most know by now, the undergraduates are doing a fund-raising campaign for Mary Ellen. This is so we can buy her and a couple of her friends plane tickets and hotel rooms, and send her to the “Price Is Right.” We are currently doing some activities and asking for donations from everyone.
On September 28, we teamed up with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and did a bikini car wash. The women and KS undergraduates had to wear bikini tops. It was pretty interesting to see that. The day before, some of the KS undergraduates and SWE members went around to tailgates at the football game to either sell tickets for the car wash the following day or to get donations. This turned out well, and we managed to raise about $300 in donations the day before the car wash.
After Sunday, we just about doubled our money, so at this point we are still planning a few more activities to raise more money for her because we would like to accumulate about $1,500. We know we have to get enough to send her and her friends, and also to give her some money to help her out with treatments. We are asking anyone who would like to donate to please do so soon. Anything you can send is greatly appreciated, and I know Mary Ellen would love it too. You can send donations to Darren Duhnke, 255 Highland Ave., State College, PA 16801
