The SSA is pleased to announce the success of our Jan 23 pubcrawl. Tickets were sold out and all three buses were filled completely. With 50 people per bus, three buses, and $10 per ticket - and all proceeds going to Haiti - the SSA was able to raise $1500 to send to Haiti earthquake aid relief. The money was donated through the University of Manitoba Haiti Aid Relief Fund,  which pooled donations from other faculties, students, and employees. As of January 29, the U of M fund had raised $17 000 total, which is being donated to the Canadian Red Cross’s Haiti effort.

Thank you to all who came out and everyone who helped those in need in Haiti!
