Mission Week Supporting Inner City Youth Alive (ICYA)

From November 27^th to December 1^st, the Maroon & White Society will be hosting Mission Week 1 - a campaign of education and fundraising supporting Inner City Youth Alive (ICYA). ICYA is a Christian North-End organization that provides a safe, active, and nurturing environment for children and youth, many of whom experience poverty, abuse, and neglect. ICYA engages local kids by offering quality programs through which relationships grow. These supportive relationships play a vital role in the lives of hundreds of children who are at risk. ICYA volunteers run valuable programs, such as a drop-in program, a hot meals program, a summer and winter wilderness camp, and much more!

To help support ICYA, the Maroon & White Society is hoping you will contribute through the following initiatives:

Casual Dress Code: Each day from Monday, November 27^th to Friday, December 1^st, there will be a casual dress code available in support of ICYA's wonderful work.

NEW this year: Students can pay with cash, debit, or credit (with an additional $0.25 tap transaction fee).

Donut Sale: Start your week off on a sweet note! On Monday, November 27^th, for a suggested donation of $2 you can purchase a donut. There will be a great assortment to choose from! Donuts will be available in the main hallway between the library and the Aulneau room.

Then pay for your order using cash, debit or credit (with an additional $0.50 tap transaction fee) at the Maroon and White booth near the Cass Gym Link EVERY LUNCH HOUR between Wednesday, November 22^nd and Tuesday, November 28^th. Orders and payment are due by November 28^th.
