White Sox vs. Mariners Game- VSO Kilimanjaro Fundraiser
We are climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro for Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)- and we need your help!
Come enjoy ILLINI DAY at Sox park and support a cause that we really believe in. We have blocked out 100+ seats in Section 540, so buy your ticket by May 18th to guarantee a seat with the group. We will also be tailgating in Lot B starting at 5:00pm. Come early if you can!
If you would like to avoid paying online, you can buy your tickets from Maggie directly. Please just call (773-910-9067) or email her (murphdizzle27@gmail.com).
Note: if you & a group of friends are buying tickets separately, but would like to sit together, just let us know! We will distribute seat #s based on your preferences.
What is VSO?
VSO is an international development organization that works through highly trained volunteers to empower people in areas affected by poverty. We support VSO's work because we believe that in order to solve complicated problems in developing countries, you need to go beyond financial assistance and seek out lasting solutions. Their approach is to equip locals with the skills and opportunities they need to prosper independently. VSO initiatives include: providing training for aspiring doctors and nurses in Zambia, helping HIV+ women in Mozambique start small businesses, and working with local teachers in Tanzania to develop a more effective curriculum for their students. One of the coolest projects that VSO has underway in Tanzania is the ZEST project, which helps local farmers to build better links to the thriving tourist market and have their voices heard.
