Tootn’ Totum, the WT CORE Office and many WT organizations all over campus have come together for a student scholarship campaign with prizes and benefits.

The student organizations received a packet filled with information at the September CORE Round Table meeting.

“I think this fundraiser is a great opportunity for our student organizations,” Jayce Jane Apsley, junior Agriculture Media and Communication major, said. “Trying to raise money can have its struggles, but this particular event offers worthwhile returns to the community as well as to the organizations participating.”

Alyssa Bonner, sophomore Advertising and Public Relations major, said she is not involved in the fundraiser but has heard of it.

“I believe it is a really good opportunity for organizations to raise money and to get more community involvement and awareness,” Bonner said.

Organizations must sell tickets for a chance to win a $10,000 pre-paid bankcard. The tickets are $10 each; $5 goes to the WT scholarship fund and $5 goes back to the organization. There are also multiple prizes, incentives and giveaways that the CORE Office is offering.

Students who sell five-50 tickets get different prizes from a car decal to a tailgate chair. The first, second and third place student who sells the most tickets will receive $50-$250 on their Buffalo Gold Card. Also, the organization that sells the most will receive a T-shirt, a pizza party and the organization name will be permanently displayed on the “I AM WT” Student Campaign Trophy.

“It is a great opportunity to not only raise money for your organization, but to raise money for your school as well,” Ashlee Adams, CORE Consultant, said.

The deadline for all ticket stubs and money is Nov. 4. The drawing for the winner will take place on Nov. 5 and will be announced at the WT football game on Nov. 9.
