Benefit Week

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've written on the blog because I've been caught up with Benefit Week 2010 (BW2010).

RHA created this week a few years ago to raise money for a number of charities benefiting different needs through a number of events that students would find fun and entertaining.  This year we donated money to Incarnation Childrens Center, Parents of ANGELS, POTS, Hope Lodge, Operation Shoebox, and Haiti Relief.

The week started out with a awesome volleyball tournament with prizes generously donated by our local Applebees.  We also had a Poker Tournament, a Battle of the Bands, a Wine and Beer Tasting, a video game tournament, and a huge auction.

We are very excited to report that during the Haiti Relief Auction, we were able to rasie an astounding $14,244 for Haiti relief.

Benefit Week as a whole raised a combined total of $18,285 for the charities.  Over 600 students attended and contributed.  The week was, to say the least, a wild success.
