I can’t believe it is only a week until BSU Saves the Day! I have been working on getting this day set up since February and now it’s so close. This day is very important to me. I believe it is our duty as students and staff to give back to the Muncie community. There are three ways to get involved while earning Ashley Points.
The first way to get involved is the food drive benefitting Second Harvest Food Bank. Boxes will be placed at the residence halls starting on Monday, October 3 and they will be there until Thursday, October 6. Student organizations will have to drop off their donations to the Alumni Office by Thursday, October 6 by 5pm. This is a great way to help stop hunger as well as getting Ashley Points.
The second way to participate in BSU Saves the Day is an American Red Cross Blood Drive. It will take place at Pruis Hall from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Help save a life! Why not make an appointment online to save your time? Potential donors may go to www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code: ballstate to set up an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.
Volunteering is the third way to get involved. Why not take two to three hours out of your day to give back to the community? On October 5, student and staff have the opportunity to volunteer at local non-profit organizations such as ARF, Cornerstone Center for the Arts, Muncie Mission, and Muncie Parks Department. This is a great way to get community service hours for Greek life, class, or just volunteer because you want to. I’m really excited that we have teamed up with Freshmen Connections for transportation to and from these non-profit organizations.
I hope everyone is excited as I am about BSU Saves the Day! Get ready to be the SUPERHERO for the community!
