Charity Work
Holiday Food and Clothing Drive
In the fall, PLU collects monetary, food, and clothing donations to give to Cornerstone Community Outreach (CCO), a homeless shelter located in Chicago that offers a wide variety of social, educational, and economic programs to the needy.
Trivia & Raffle Fundraiser Social
For the past years PLU has hosted a Trivia & Raffle Fundraiser social to benefit a special cause. At the socials we hold a trivia contest to provide attendees with entertainment and raise funds by selling tickets to raffle off prizes donated from a variety of local businesses. In the past we have donated over $1000 each to both SOS Children’s Villages Illinois (SOSCVI), a network of homes for abused and neglected children located throughout the state, and to chemistry programs devastated by the March 2011 earthquake in the Pacific. On top of excellent participation of graduate students and postdocs at the event, we have had the generous support of several faculty and staff members.
