SBU, Firefighters Holding Olean-Area Boot
Drive on Friday to Raise Money for Haiti
St. Bonaventure University students will team up with area firefighters Friday morning for a boot drive to raise money for devastated Haiti.
Students and firefighters will be stationed at busy intersections in the Olean area from 7 until 10 a.m. Friday.
All the money raised will go toward Haitian relief efforts, including Food for the Poor, Hands on Direct Relief and the Carroll County Haiti Mission Project, said Dr. Todd Palmer, adviser for SBU’s Students in Free Enterprise.
“St. Bonaventure has a history of working with local firefighters,” Palmer said. “We raised $45,000 during a boot drive after Hurricane Katrina.”
The boot drive is co-sponsored at the university by SIFE, BonaResponds, University Ministries, and the Center for Community Engagement.
Since 2005, BonaResponds and SIFE have been actively involved in local, national and international disaster relief efforts.
