Alvernia Helping Haiti

As the tragedy in Haiti continues to unfold, Alvernia students are taking action to help the victims devastated by the earthquake. The Student Government Association, Campus Ministry, and the Office of Student Activities have teamed up to help support the victims.

Join Alvernia as we help those affected by the tragedy in Haiti.  As part of Phase I, Alvernia raised over $3000 for the people of Haiti and Phase II brought in donations of food, clothing and bedding, but now it is time for Phase III! 

This year for the Student Government Association's annual Spring Fling event, Haiti is being put in the forefront.  All ticket sales for the main event, comedian BJ Novak, will be sent to Mercy Corps (Cash donations also being excepted).  Get your tickets now at www.alverniatickets.com or in the Office of Student Activities!
