Students wishing to make a donation in honor of the five students slain at Northern Illinois University still have a chance to do so.
Members of the Feb. 14 Student Scholarship Fund have decided to extend the fundraiser they initiated last month.
The Club Sports Council, University Recreations Student Enrichment Council, Volunteer Center and the Student Athlete Advisory Council came together to create the fund that is raising donations as a tribute to the victims of the Feb. 14 shooting at NIU.
"All proceeds raised will be donated to the Northern Illinois University Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was created in memory of the victims of the February shooting at NIU," said Jennifer Bush, graduate student and member of the Volunteer Center at Central Michigan University.
The four student groups and offices in charge of the fundraiser are allowing can and bottle drop off to continue until April 14. Can and bottle receptacles are located in many buildings throughout campus including the Volunteer Center, the Student Activity Center, the Towers, Sweeney and Thorpe halls, Rose Arena, the Indoor Athletic Complex, the Health Professions building and all North Quad residence halls.
Jennifer Kadish, Canton senior and president of the University Recreation Student Enrichment Council, said Facilities Management are letting them take all cans and bottles donated will be put towards the fundraiser. She said receptacles also are located in other academic buildings, but confirmations on exact locations are not available at this time.
The amount of money anticipated to be raised still is uncertain but any donations, other than cans and bottles, can be delivered to the Volunteer Center c/o Jennifer Bush or to the SAC c/o Stan Shingles.
"There's a real need to contribute to the scholarship," said University Recreation director Shingles in an earlier interview with Central Michigan Life. "(The can drive) does not burden student organizations with cost."
