Thanks everybody for coming out this year despite the threat of rain. It actually turned out to be perfect running weather. I've already started planning for next year's run, and I've come up with some great ideas. Its going to be bigger and better than ever. Here are the official results

We'd like to release the results of the fundraiser held last month where EWB asked everyone to donate to their local chapter with the added bonus of earning grants for those who received the most donations. This past week, EWB-USA announced that it is officially one of the winners of the $50,000 Challenge, and our chapter succeeded in raising 48 donations, earning us a $1,000 grant on top of what you donated! This is a momentous occasion for everyone in Engineers without Borders across the country and especially for our chapter. Combined with our also very successful banquet and auction held last week, we've already almost reached our fundraising goal for the year. Thanks to everyone for making these fundraisers such a success.
All proceeds go to the Guatemala Water Supply Project.
The infamous EWB Red Nose Day is an effort to raise money and spread the word about our organization on campus. All you need to do is talk to your class and collect some green, and your professor will take the cream (pie that is) in the face. Not all professors are down with that last part, but if they love EWB (most professors do) they shouldn't have a problem with you saying a bit to the class. So download the file below and hand it to your professor after class. A single lecture can bring in $100, so just think what you could do for us.
