Good morning all, We have almost met our $600 goal for the matching donation for the Yo Soy Puerto Rico gofundme campaign. You all have so far donated $535 with two days to go. The need remains great: many homes are destroyed and most of Puerto Rico continues to be without clean water or electricity. The EPICS staff has agreed to raise our matching pot if you all exceed the goal, so please consider making a contribution today. Donate at https://www.facebook.com/epicspurdue/posts/1905313836195798 Best sure to include EPICS Purdue in the comment on your donation so we can identify it for the match. Thank you all for your generosity, Andrew From: Pierce, Andrew L Sent: Friday, September 29, 2017 3:26 PM To: epics-teams@ecn.purdue.edu; epics-ta@ecn.purdue.edu Cc: 'epics-advisors@ecn.purdue.edu' <epics-advisors@ecn.purdue.edu>; epics-admin@ecn.purdue.edu Subject: EPICS Matching Gifts for Puerto Rico Relief Good afternoon EPICS family, You may have noticed the posters on the lab walls for the Yo Soy Puerto Rico gofundme campaign. This is a multi-university, student driven campaign to raise money for hurricane relief for Puerto Rico. The funds will go to Unidos por Puerto Rico, a public-private initiative started by the office of the First Lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Isabel Roselló. As I'm sure you are aware, the devastation in Puerto Rico has been tremendous, and they are in need of significant aid. Details can be found at http://unidosporpuertorico.com/en/ The EPICS staff would like to issue a challenge to our students. We will match you dollar for dollar for the first $600 donated to the GoFundMe campaign during the next week. This will double the impact of your donations in this great time of need for our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico. To make sure your donation is matched, please link to the campaign through our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/epicspurdue/posts/1905313836195798.
