The Daily Bruin

The university’s doctor of physical therapy program is hosting a 50/50 raffle fundraiser to help raise funds for its Africa serve trip this summer. Purchase tickets at our table in the lobby or from students walking through the stands during the first half of the men’s basketball games on Jan. 11 and Jan. 15.

When you purchase a raffle ticket, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win half of the money raised from this event. The winner will be announced at halftime.

The two trips to Uganda and Ghana provide opportunities for students to serve a variety of populations and communities, while providing education to other medical students and professionals through the practice of physical therapy.

Thank you for your support and go Bruins!
