The brothers of UM fraternity Alpha Kappa Lambda held a fundraiser this week to support These Hands Don't Hurt, an organization that helps out victims of domestic abuse. The event was originally planned for last week, but it had to be rescheduled after the campus closed due to weather concerns.
The fundraiser consisted of students paying a dollar to paint their hands and stamp them onto one of two large boards to symbolize their pledge to show support. Students could also pay one extra dollar to enter a raffle. These boards were placed in front of the cafeteria on Monday March 16th to Wednesday March 18th from 11 am to 1 pm. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Shelby County Safe-house.
AKL Chair-member Stacy Daniels has good things to say about the fundraiser: "We really enjoy it and out brothers get to communicate with all the students here on campus...and just have a fun time doing it even though it's going to something good for other people who need it."
