Fundraising events include a kick-off party at Across the Street Bar hosted by Kappa Alpha Order, a late night hot dog sale hosted by Kappa Kappa Gamma, a soft drink sale hosted by LEAD, and a doughnut sale hosted by Chi Omega.
"I wanted people to have plenty of opportunities to get involved," Warren said. "If they couldn't make one event, then there's always another event they could go to. I wanted it to be in your face."
In addition to fundraisers, specially designed T-shirts will be sold for $10 that feature the Dollars for Darfur logo and participating sponsors. Tables will be set up outside Hughes-Trigg until Oct. 11 where the T-shirts will be sold.
"I designed the logo with Evyán Stuart, a friend from Las Vegas," Warren said. "I'm an artist and she's an artist, so we drew up some drawings and collaborated on it. She used her technology to make my drawings better and more printable. The red at the top is like the blood, suffering, death and atrocity. The doves are peace and hope that the United States and other countries are giving to Darfur. The flowers are the growth that we hope Sudan and Chad are going to go through to get back to where it was all those years ago."

Congratulations on the great work you are doing to raise awareness about Darfur. If anyone knows high school or middle school students looking to get involved, the Save Darfur Coalition has a program called Dollars for Darfur. (Continued…)
