University of Denver Chapter of Building Tomorrow

46/46 Event Planned for October 24th

dubuildingtomorrow — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:51:22 +0000

Many people might be wondering what 46/46 is and for that reason we hope this event will be a success. On Wednesday the 24th of October, 46 people from around campus will wear white t-shirts with large X’s on them signifying the 46 million children in sub-Saharan Africa that are currently without an education. Each volunteer will wear the shirt all day, while telling curious onlookers about Building Tomorrow and the problems plaguing the people in Uganda and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. To accompany the event, we plan on having a table set up in front of Sturm Hall, a particularly busy building, that will enable BT members to share their knowledge to those interested, while allowing the masses to munch on some baked goods and sip some generously donated Kaladis Coffee.

First Event a Success!

Our first event as a Building Tomorrow chapter was a roaring success. Last night, friends, family, and BT supporters filled Stella’s Coffee Haus to learn more about the wonderful cause and to donate their time and money to help the great work that is already in progress. The evening started out with a rush of people, thanks to the upbeat and festive Irish folk music from the band Canned Haggis. After a few sing-alongs and some lively conversation, the first raffle prizes were given away to some lucky guests, who were able to celebrate their wins while watching an informative video on Building Tomorrow’s current work in Uganda. The second half of the event was a slight change of pace from the first thanks to the stellar beats of the Gritch, who won the crowd over with an acoustic medley of songs. To end an overall fantastic night, the last prizes were awarded and people left sufficiently entertained and with the information and motivation to help Building Tomorrow reach their ultimate goals.On behalf of Building Tomorrow I would like to thank everyone who contributed to such a wonderful evening. Particularly to Canned Haggis and the Gritch, as well as Patagonia, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sue’s Do’s Salon, Pepsi, Stella’s Coffee Haus, and to those who donated and brought us one step closer to building a school in Uganda. Thanks!

Our Mission

dubuildingtomorrow — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 03:20:18 +0000

Our Mission:

As a chapter of Building Tomorrow, our mission is to raise awareness and funds in order to help vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa gain access to education.

Our Objectives:

We feel it is imperative to accomplish these ends by creating a mutually beneficial relationship between Building Tomorrow and the University of Denver. Specifically, through various fund-raising efforts and on-campus involvement, we hope to bring positive attention to the university. The DU chapter of Building Tomorrow is committed to working with the university to improve activism on campus by vigorously recruiting and linking various social groups, departments, and student-organizations under a single cause. As part of our role, we have several outreach programs planned that will serve to widen the DU community. We will work to create a sustainable organization that will fulfill the two-fold purpose of strengthening our local community as well as the global community. Together, as a DU community, we can build a better tomorrow for vulnerable children in Africa.
