Pie in the Face Fundraising events:   

Based on various risk factors reviewed by the University, this event is no longer permitted to take place and will not be up for review moving forward.  We would encourage your organization and any co-sponsoring organizations to review the mission of your organization(s) and align your fundraising efforts.  Depending on your philanthropic organization, consider ways to raise awareness and align your fundraising efforts to engage others, supporters are more supportive if they are able to connect what you are doing for the philanthropic organization you are raising money for.
