Once again Evatt House contributes to the community!
Evatt House, one of the colleges on Callaghan Campus, is once again priding themselves in their outstanding charity work in 2013.
The College was established in 1990, using the motto ‘Carpe Diem’ (which means to seize the day) to strive to contribute to the college’s community, and community at large.
This year, Evatt House are participating in the Relay for Life for the third year consecutively and are aiming to reach an outstanding $10,000! The team have been involved in the Relay since 2011 and have managed to raise $4000 in that year and $7000 in 2012. The College hope to raise the much needed funds by 7 September, for the commencement of the Relay.
Evatt House have also been involved with numerous other charity projects including the Salvation Army food drive. This semester, they were able to donate $850 worth of non-perishable food.
“Evatt House are known for our charity work and are proud to say that we are the highest raiser of charity in the University for a number of years” says Liam, the Residential Coordinator of Evatt House.
The College also holds yearly events for the Breast Cancer Foundation and Movember. Last year, for Movember, Evatt House raised a massive $1322 for the cause!
It is amazing to know that these dedicated students are able to put in so much effort towards the community whilst studying at the University of Newcastle.
