HOW
YOU AND YOUR RESIDENTS CAN HELP
With well over half a million page views per month,
and tens of thousands of unique visitors every month,
ResidentAssistant.com connects a powerful network
of residence life staff all over the country, and
it provides a great opportunity to make a difference
in this situation.
We
want to challenge you to find ways to make a difference
in your halls. We are aware that many of you have
already started fundraising efforts on your campuses.
Please join in a nationwide effort of residence hall
staff members and residents to make a difference in
this time of crisis.
Please
visit the discussion board, and share your ideas and
what you are doing on your campus.
How
to participate:
-
Raise
Money!
-
Ask
your residents if they would be willing to
donate money to the Red Cross.
-
Ideas
for ways to collect money include "penny
drives," "pennies for people,"
collection jars at the front desk,
going directly to your residents for contributions,
etc. Be sure to check with your supervisor
for appropriate ways to do conduct this in
your hall. You may do it together as a staff,
or conduct individual fund raisers yourselves.
When I receive the checks made out to the
Red Cross*, whoever sends the biggest amount
will get the prize. It'll be up to you whether
it's used for an all-hall or for a floor or
section social.
- THIS
CAN BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT OF AN ENTIRE STAFF.
It shouldn't be seen in a negative way as a
"competition." :-) The goal is simply
to come together and make a difference. If your
staff or building raises the most money, that
is great, but what counts is that we all work
to make a difference, and if a lot of halls
participate the potential is incredible! You
do the math...
- Post
your results on the discussion
board. Let's see what kind of a difference we
can make together!
