Keeping Clean Yard Sale
As Spring slowly arrives, we all begin to clean out our closets, dorm spaces, homes and apartments in celebration of warmer weather.
Augsburg Step-Up and members of Project Management Section A, are asking for your help by donating your gently used clothing, accessories, dorm room/apartment furnishings, and electronics. Items will be donated to the First annual Keeping clean Yard Sale, Fundraiser and Informational. Being held on Friday April 5, 2013 In the Oren Gateway Atrium (Date Change) from 11am-8pm
We as Students of Project Management Section A are looking to raise awareness and support of Augsburg’s Step-Up program, the country's largest residential college recovery program. Every year Augsburg’s Step-Up program serves and assists around 85 students from around the country and has served over 600 individuals during its strong sixteen year history.
All the proceeds made from this yard sale will go to the building of a Scholarship fund that would benefit the countless Students within the Step-Up program who cannot afford the ever rising cost of tuition, housing, and books.
With the help of donations from the Augsburg community and the broader surrounding Twin Cities area, we hope to make a difference and show our support for a pivotal group in our Augsburg community. All donations can be made to us in the Christensen Center on:
Wednesday, March 27 from 11:20 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
