Fri Oct 22 08:20:06 MST 2021

As promised, here are some UA Cares events you can choose to be a part of:

Office of Budget and Planning's 22nd Annual Chorizo Breakfast and Drawing | Nov. 19, 8-11 a.m.

Volunteers will set up tents in the Alumni Plaza on the Mall and hand out prepackaged breakfasts of eggs, beans, salsa, tortillas and orange juice, either with or without chorizo. With a $10 donation, you can get two plates or opt for a single breakfast and direct $5 to the Campus Pantry. You can submit your order online beginning Oct. 30. Donors will also have an opportunity to enter a drawing for prizes including gift cards to local restaurants, overnight hotel stays and guest passes to fitness clubs.

Office of the Provost's Sixth Annual Pumpkin Crafting Contest

The theme this year is Disney, including Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and other Disney franchises. Participants are asked to make a $10 donation to cover their entry fee, which will benefit the Campus Pantry. Pumpkins should be dropped off on the fifth floor of the Administration building by 5 p.m. on Oct. 28. Judging will occur on Oct. 29 in the building's Regents Room from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Anyone can cast five free votes. Additional votes can be purchased with donations. Participants can also donate to vote for next year's theme. To enter, email Jonathan Lazar, administrative associate in the Office of the Provost, at jmlazar at arizona.edu with "Pumpkin Contest" in the subject line.

Online Food Drive for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona

The Division of Human Resources has organized a virtual food drive to benefit the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. For every $1 donated, the food bank can provide four meals. You can set up a one-time or monthly donation at the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona website. These donations will be counted toward the UA Cares fundraising total.

Book Drive to Benefit Oyama Elementary School

The Office of the Secretary of the University is hosting a book drive for Oyama Elementary School's library. The school especially needs books on coding, electronics and robotics, as well as historical books written from diverse perspectives. Books can be dropped off by the reception desk in the lobby of Old Main or in Room 313 of the Administration building. The deadline for donations is Friday, Nov. 12.

Thank you,
