On Thursday, September 24, Presbyterian College’s chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi will be hosting a fundraiser for a local affilliate of the RAINN organization.  RAINN, claimed by Worth Magazine to be one of  “America’s Top 100 Charities,” specializes in raising money to prevent rape, abuse, and sexual assault throughout the country. Representatives from the local RAINN affilliate, the Greenwood “Sexual Trauma and Counceling Center” (STCC), will be on campus throughout the day, and PC’s very own public saftey officers will also be helping with the fundraiser.  The fundraiser will take place between 8am and 3pm outside of Springs Student Center and GDH.

When Johnathan Hunsinger, the Philanthropy Chair of Alpha Sigma Phi, was asked about the upcomming fundraiser, he had the following to say:

“We in ‘Alpha Sig’ care very much about charity.  Not only is charitable giving the  right thing to do to help those in need, but Charity is also one of Alpha Sigma Phi’s “five values.”  Last year we took a progressive revamp of our service comittee and became actively involved in Habitat for Humanity.   We raised money for many local charities, including the Laurens County Humane Society.  Throughout the year we will continue to help those in need by becoming involved in the “Big Brother, Little Brother Program” as well as a new Boy Scout program that will be opened at the Thornwell Home. If this RAINN fundraiser for the STCC is big enough, we will have a campus wide RAINN day later this year.  If you can, please be there to show your support.  We also plan on hosting multiple events throughout the year for the  humane society, our local battered women’s shelter, habitat for humanity, the Thornwell Home, and our own national Philanthropy, Live-Strong!”

Johnathan also wanted to let everyone know that there will be sign-up sheets for free self-defense lessons–hosted by RAD.
