Life at PUC
Third Annual REVO
By Eirene-Gin Nakamura on April 22, 2010
Pacific Union College students host this year’s REVO humanitarian fundraising and awareness event on April 25 in an outdoor area at the center of the school’s campus. From 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. that Sunday, students will hold a benefit rummage sale, host a fashion show, play a concert, and sell corn dogs and t-shirts to aid the Tropical Health Alliance Foundation (THAF) in its efforts to combat podoconiosis, and a KidzReach program that supports local children. The event on the 25th will be the second REVO event this year; the first was a very successful 5K race on the college's trails on April 18.
REVO plans to donate half of the raised funds to support THAF-sponsored clinics in Ethiopia that treat podoconiosis, a form of elephantitis caused by exposure of feet to red clay soil. Santa Monica-based non-profit TOMS Shoes agreed to collaborate with REVO and THAF, and will provide shoes for family members of each person who receives treatment as a result of this endeavor. The rest of the funds raised by this event will go to KidzReach, a campus-based program whose members volunteer to spend Saturdays with children from underprivileged families or unstable homes in nearby counties.
REVO raised almost $9,000 in 2009, helping the Napa Valley Food Bank reopen their building, and $10,000 in 2008 to build a shelter and vocational center for young victims of trafficking in Lima, Peru.
There is no admission fee for the REVO event. All raised funds will go directly to the two charities. For more information, contact the REVO leadership team at pucrevo@gmail.com.
