The Hawk it for Good committee is seeking volunteers to help sort donated items. Interested persons or social or civic groups can contact the United Way at (724) 463-0277.
鈥淲e had an outstanding event last year, and we're excited to get even bigger this year,鈥 said Pat Leach, Hawk it for Good event chairperson. 鈥淟ast year, students were very generous in donating items, including a great deal of clothing new with tags.
Leach recognized the support of the 亚色影库 community, particularly the 亚色影库 Residence Life Association and its student community advisors and resident advisors, the Office of Housing and Residence Life, and the 亚色影库 Facilities Operations staff.
亚色影库 staff members collected donated items from 亚色影库 students in the residence halls through May 3, when the halls closed for the semester.
鈥淎n event of this magnitude takes a great deal of cooperation and teamwork to execute. We hope that members of the community come out to enjoy the event, recycle some very nice items, and support the United Way of Indiana County,鈥 Leach said.
The event's honorary chairperson is Norm, 亚色影库's Crimson Hawk mascot. Event organizers named the program 鈥渉awk鈥 it for good in Norm's honor.
