From dart throwing
to dunk tanks, Associated Students Inc. will host a carnival
today to allow clubs and organizations on campus to raise
money for charities.
"The carnival is a chance to allow clubs on campus to
raise money for good causes," said Chris Dollar, A.S.I.
executive administrator. "A.S.I. will be charging low
prices so everyone can participate."
The carnival will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and fun
prizes will be provided for the kids.
Dollar said that A.S.I. provided the games, prizes and opportunities
for the organizations. The organizations are in charge of
volunteers, gathering participants and having fun. Some of
the organizations involved are fraternities and sororities,
the Latin Student Union, The College of Natural Sciences and
the Human Resource Management Association. All will be raising
money for individual charities.
Along with the carnival, A.S.I. will also hold a kite building
event. The proceeds raised will be donated to help save abused
animals in the city of Long Beach.
Gina Garcia, A.S.I. community service commissioner, explained
that the event is being held to make kids aware of how to
help the community."
"We chose kites to represent soaring into success,"
Garcia said, "We want to educate kids about the importance
of going to college and the community."
The kites will cost $3 and all proceeds will be donated. The
booth is run strictly by volunteers who are welcome to join
in the activities at any time.
A.S.I. is looking forward to a good turnout. The carnival
and kite building booth is an opportunity for the community
to work together while helping out some great causes.
