Thanks to the generosity of many Western Washington University employees, $514 was donated to the 50/50 raffle at the campus holiday party. Last year, $302 was collected.

John Purdie, associate director of University Residence Life, was the raffle drawing winner. $257 was contributed to the WWU Employee Distinguished Scholarship and $257 was given to John Purdie.

In addition to the 50/50 Raffle, a food and pet food drive was held. Donations are in the process of being weighed prior to distributing them to the Food Bank and the Whatcom Humane Society. If you would still like to contribute food or pet food, there is a barrel and a box in the hallway outside the door to Old Main Room 375. Donations will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 15.
