Loyola Phoenix: "Campus groups work together to raise funds for victims"

Description

Various programs to help students and community members process the events of 9/11 took place on Loyola’s Day of Prayer and Remembrance. Student affairs and a dozen student organizations held a fundraiser and memorial for 9/11 victims, with all money raised donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Students expressed that involvement in the fundraiser and memorial help them gain some sense of closure over the horrific affairs of 9/11. Apart from the memorial and fundraiser, other programs held included four masses in memory of the victims, a Bake Sale for Peace, and an interfaith peace vigil open to community members.
