ƵVolunteers Lend Hand at JaguarsCare National Day of Service
Posted on April 19, 2015
Ƶ alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends in Mobile overcame bad weather on Saturday, April 18, to make the Second Annual JaguarsCare National Day of Service successful.
Some volunteers picked up litter in the rain at intersections of Old Shell Road near the Ƶmain campus. Other volunteers walked to raise money for the March of Dimes March for Babies near ƵChildren’s & Women’s Hospital. At the Mobile County Public Library’s annual book sale, held at the Abba Shrine Center, participants assisted hundreds of book buyers. At the Bay Area Food Bank, others sorted and boxed food.
“I could not be more proud of our Jaguars,” said Karen Edwards, executive director of the ƵNational Alumni Association. “They turned out to support us here despite the bad weather, making this year even more successful than last year.”
Edwards added that early reports indicated turnout was also good at JaguarCares events held around the United States and even in Mongolia and Scotland where Ƶalumni organized service events.
The annual day is organized by the ƵNational Alumni Association’s board of directors. Ƶalumni chapters or individuals will lead each project, reflecting a diversity of interests and passions, with the aim of making a positive impact in communities.
On Friday, postponements were announced for the 2015 Earth Day Festival, the ƵBaldwin County Beautification Project and the Crichton community clean-up due to inclement weather.
