Announcing the Tau Chapter Scholarship and Charity Drive!

Post date: Nov 16, 2017 9:19:24 PM

Today begins the the new fall Tau Chapter Scholarship and Charity Drive! Starting today, and running through the end of the fall semester, Sunday, December 17, the Tau Chapter is running a drive to give back to the community. I encourage you to donate to the drive if you are able, and to share the drive with your friends and family. Members who donate directly to the drive should record their participation through this simple form, so that we can track our progress: https://goo.gl/forms/gugY4HRFOgut6gZi1. At the end of the drive, one member will be randomly selected to win an Alpha Sigma Lambda polo shirt!

For the fall drive, we are focusing on two ways to give back:

1. Donating to the Tau Chapter Scholarship

The Tau Chapter scholarship helps UMUC students and Tau Chapter members work towards their undergraduate degrees. Donating to the scholarship fund is a great way to support the chapter and to help others in the UMUC community. You can donate through UMUC's Secure Online Giving Form. To donate to our scholarship, select the option, "I want to support scholarships and/or program initiatives. Select this option to see a list of choices," then select "Other." In the box, type in "Alpha Sigma Lambda Tau Chapter Scholarship Fund." Any amount helps!

2. Donating to Toys for Tots

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys as gifts to less fortunate children in the community. This year, UMUC-Stateside is running a campaign to collect toys for Prince Georges County. If you are local, you can stop by UMUC to drop-off a donation at one of our donation bins. Toys for Tots is also a national program, so if you are not local, you can visit the Web site to either find a local campaign to support or donate online. Please note that the UMUC campaign ends on December 13, and local campaign dates will also vary.

Let’s see how many members we can get to participate!
