Colby has come together under the leadership of Goldfarb Center Student Advisory Board students to raise money for the Stand for Haiti Campaign of Partners in Health, which is working to provide medical care for the victims of Haiti’s devastating earthquake. This effort has truly become a community undertaking. The Goldfarb SAB and many other student volunteers have been supporting this effort.
We are all very aware that the needs of Haiti will not end in a few weeks; thus our efforts will continue and grow. On February 26th, the Center will host a Haitian Relief Benefit, a community dinner and a silent auction. Partners from throughout the Colby community are supporting this effort; Sodexho, Colby’s dining services provider, is providing the food at a reduced cost; sports team members will service as waiters and waitresses; and we have received College support through the President’s Office to defray the additional expenses so that all of the money raised will go directly to Haitian relief. A number of local businesses and friends of the Goldfarb Center have volunteered as corporate sponsors for the event or are donating items for the silent auction. Individuals and businesses interested in attending or being a corporate sponsor should contact one of the two students who have taken the lead for the Center in this terrific undertaking, Lisa Kaplan or Danny Garin for further details.February 8 - 4 p.m. - Diamond 122
