Arizona State University

Arizona State University ’ s Circle K has had a longstanding commitment to fundraising for the March of Dimes main annual event , March for Babies . In 2012 we were the top collegiate level fundraising team in the nation . This year we decided on setting a pretty ambitious goal of fundraising $ 2,500 . Through mainly individual fundraising efforts , we were able to surpass the goal that was set and ended up reaching $ 2,817 . Within in the club , our top fundraisers were Jared Doles , Erin Lin , and Louisa Hermes . The March for Babies event was held on April 13 , 2013 in downtown Phoenix and was a 3.5 mile walk . At the actual March for Babies event , we had twelve members present and we teamed up volunteering with the March of Dimes Collegiate Council at Arizona State University . At March for Babies , all of the members split up to volunteer and help out in many ways . Some members did the actual walk , some volunteered in tents , and other members braved the heat and dressed up in mascot costumes and walked around having fun with guests . All members had a really great time , and it was really great to be able to see all the participants and enthusiasm that was present at the event . It was great to be able to celebrate with the March of Dimes as they celebrated their 75th anniversary !
