The Chinese Students and Scholars Association at the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院 will raise funds for earthquake relief efforts at various locations around the campus and the city from May 15 through May 18.
"The sooner we can act, the less they will suffer," said association President Jing Yin, a doctoral candidate in the CU-麻豆影院 physics department. All of the money collected will be donated to the Red Cross Society of China to help with relief efforts for those affected by this week's deadly quake in China's Sichuan Province.
The Chinese student group will accept donations at tables set up at the following times and locations:
Thursday and Friday, May 15 and 16, from noon to 1 p.m.:
o Near Broadway and Euclid Avenue outside the University Memorial Center
o Near Colorado Avenue and Regent Drive outside the Engineering Center
o Near Broadway and College Avenue outside the Colorado Bookstore on University Hill
Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.:
o Outside King Soopers near Broadway and Table Mesa Drive
Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.:
o On the Pearl Street Mall near Broadway and Pearl Street
Cash or checks will be accepted. Checks should be made payable to the Chinese Students and Scholars Association. Names of all donors and the total amount collected will be posted on the CSSA Web site at /.
Donations also may be arranged by contacting Yin at 303-960-6620 or jingphysics@gmail.com, or CSSA Vice President Quan Zhang at 720-771-3033 or quanzhangustc@gmail.com.
Any amount of donation will be appreciated, Yin said. A $50 donation would provide enough food for a typical Chinese family for a month, she said.
