Students Give to Worthy Cause for Small Children

The Student Government Association (SGA) made a collection of monies from students and staff to give to the Weiss Advocacy Center, which services small children who have been sexually and/or severely abused, in a child-friendly and safe environment.   Students and staff were allowed to dress down for one day at a minimum cost – half of the amount raised will be donated to the Weiss Advocacy Center.

On October 1st, the Weiss Advocacy Center is sponsoring a Superhero Fun Run, in partnership with the Department of Human Resources, University of Michigan, and other organizations in the community, to raise money for the work to protect children and prevent child abuse in Genesee County.   Participants in the 1k or 5k route will be dressed in “Superhero” customs to show children support in the cause.   SGA plans to make donation of raised money to Director of the Weiss Advocacy Center during a upcoming Community Meeting.
