Ugly sweaters spreading cheer
Whether it's a red knit pull-over
with a giant Christmas tree on it or
a green light-up Christmas vest,
the Fanshawe Student Union wants
to see your best ugly Christmas
sweater! Head to our Ugly Sweater
Pub at the Out Back Shack on
December 6 and show off your
holiday swag.
All proceeds from ticket sales will assist the FSU in supporting our adopted family this holiday season. "It's our annual charity that we do for Christmastime. It's just a nice thing to do, to give back to the community," said Pat Maloney, entertainment programmer for the FSU. Each department in the FSU does their part to help out, including Hospitality, who provides a Christmas dinner for the family.
To raise additional funds, you will have the opportunity to take pictures with Santa Claus and his naughty elves at the Pub. There are also cash donation boxes located in the Out Back Shack, as well as in the Interrobang Office, the Student Centre, Biz Booth, FSU Main Office and Oasis. "We're a nonprofit organization, so it's nice that we give back into the community and put our name out there as a whole," said Darby Mousseau, creative director for the FSU.
Tickets for the Pub will be entered in a draw to win a trip for two to Montreal for New Years. The package includes round-trip transportation, a two-night stay in a downtown hotel, club crawl wristbands each night and optional guided tours of Montreal. "The pub alone is to help raise a little more money," said Mousseau. "It gives the students a chance to do something for the holidays and now that there's a trip involved for New Years, it gives them more incentive, and gives students an opportunity to get involved and help out a local family."
The Publications Department (who brings you the Interrobang each week) will take the money raised and purchase toys and clothes for the children and parents of our family in need. "Financially, they can't get ahead, so they can't provide for their children," said Mousseau. "We are giving them an opportunity to truly enjoy the holiday season."
As Mousseau said, "It's a surprise, when they get the gifts, it's all wrapped and ready to go, it's Christmas all around for everybody."
Tickets to the December 6 Ugly Sweater Pub are $3 in advance at the Biz Booth or $4 at the door. Toss your spare change into the donation boxes around the FSU and feel good about helping a local family in need.
