Recent Fundraiser

This past week, the Arc held a fundraiser by help of the Texas Cowboys with their annual Barbeque on the Plaza. One of the girls in my sorority announced this event at our weekly chapter meeting, and described it as follows "Tickets are only $7 and you get a full plate of barbeque and it goes to the Arc, which is a good cause". She looked a little confused towards the end of that sentence, letting all of us know that she wasn't quite sure just what the cause was. Here again is another example of the Arc's fundraisers being successful in generating funds, but quite unsuccessful in raising awareness. The students only see this as an all you can eat barbeque buffet, a good bang for their buck. They don't really understand who the money is going to.
