What the Penn Community Can Do to Help

To: Members of the University Community

The Penn community--along with the rest of the nation -- is reeling in the aftermath of one of the most horrific attacks ever against the United States. Many of us want to do something to help, but aren't sure what to do. Here are some options:

A special table will be set up from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Friday morning (9/14) in Houston Hall to collect donations for the American Red Cross. Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

You can also make a financial donation at www.redcross-philly.org OR by calling 1-866-272-7372. Contributions can also be sent to the American Red Cross, 23rd and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Blood donations are also needed and can be arranged by contacting: www.pleasegiveblood.org OR by calling 1-800-448-3543.

Student and faculty and staff volunteer efforts are being coordinated through Civic House, the Undergraduate Assembly and Greek organizations, among others. Representatives from these organizations will be staffing a table in Houston Hall.

--John Fry,
Executive Vice President
