Two events in September are supported by and give members of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community the opportunity to support CrossRoads Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center in Burlington.
From 2 p.m.-4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 7, CrossRoads will hold its annual fundraiser, Make a Sundae, Make a Difference, at the Church of the Holy Comforter, located at 320 E. Davis St. Area potters, including students from ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s art department and Mike Sanford, professor of art, are donating handmade pottery bowls for the event. For $15, you receive a pottery bowl you can keep and enjoy an ice cream sundae thanks to Bi-Lo. Contact Kimberly Rippy at extension 5600 for tickets or stop by the Center for the Arts main office in room 101.
The other event is a cross-country bike journey by Christopher Eyl, graphic designer in university relations. His trip will raise funds for CrossRoads’ Children’s Advocacy Center, and is made possible through a Project Pericles service sabbatical. Eyl will begin his 2,876-mile trip in late September, traveling from California to Savannah, Ga.
