Chapter Highlights
- News Story
As the culmination of our STANDfast events, our chapter hosted a contest between the major dorms on campus to see which one could raise the most money for civilian protection. We sent a STAND member to each dorm for 2 hours yesterday evening to collect donations and hand out free candy as people entered and exited the dorms. We raised an amazing $1300.32 in those two hours alone! The competition will continue until Tuesday, to give people a chance to see the results and nudge their competitive instincts.

Testimonials
Person:John Prendergast, Co-Chair of the ENOUGH ProjectPlace:STAND National Conference 2007When I worked in the White House, every time we wanted to do something on an issue like Congo or Rwanda, we'd turn around and hope that citizens across the country were going to push our issue forward, but there was nothing but a big, big silence. So what we need, all over this country, is people who are willing to stand up and make noise whenever there is a situation that demands the United States attention and our action.
