The annual APS/UNM School Supplies Drive will culminate in a distribution event held at University Stadium on Saturday, July 25 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. UNM alumni volunteers and student athletes will be on hand to help distribute thousands of packs filled with school supplies, as well as meet and greet the students and their families.
The UNM Alumni Association thanks those alumni who participated in raising funds for this year’s annual APS/UNM School Supplies Drive. Thanks to the many generous donations, the Alumni Association raised $3,200. The Alumni Association felt this cause not only fit into its core values of giving back to the community, but was deeply moved by the needs of families during these tough economic times. Each contribution will significantly impact the success of our Albuquerque area students.
Look for more opportunities for continued support of UNM and the Alumni Association’s civic engagement programs in the weeks to come. The Alumni Association will be placing bins around campus to collect supplies to continue aiding in the success of our “future LOBOS.”
