The Daily Bruin

This year Bon Appetit has joined with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a corporate sponsor to help raise funds for cancer research.  LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding patient support services, advocacy and promising cancer research.

Between October 15-26, you can buy as many  lunches or dinners as you want in Klages Dining Room for just $5 cash each time you purchase with all proceeds going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support their very worthy efforts.

This is a great chance for commuter students, staff and faculty to have a great meal and help support a great cause.

More than 200 million people from 2,200 different language groups still do not have God’s Word in their language. “Race To 2025” is an adventure race fundraiser held by Wycliffe Bible Translators that has the goals of creating awareness for the need in Bible translating, raising up a new generation of Bible translating missionaries, and raising funds for the Bible translating currently happening in Cameroon, Africa.

Any and all donations raised on campus will go straight to the Wycliffe Cameroon project. Contact Nick (nlargusa@gmail.com) if you have questions.
