Tufts STAND

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.

Tufts STAND hosted its first official STANDfast event last night--a house party that featured live music, free cookies, and no alcohol. We asked for a suggested donation at the door and raised $526 in 2 hours. The turnout was great and we will definitely be trying another event like this in the future!
