Students gather for the Sept. 11th vigil.

Wake Forest University has launched an extensive effort to address the hardships suffered by Hurricane Katrina victims. More than a dozen events have been organized to provide opportunities for the university and the surrounding community to participate in relief efforts.

The relief efforts are coordinated by the university’s newly-formed Hurricane Katrina Relief Committee (HKRC), which consists of students and members of the university’s administrative staff and is led by Tim Auman, university chaplain, and Andrea Ellis, assistant director of student development.

For detailed information on the committee’s efforts, visit www.wfu.edu/katrina.

Fundraising

All proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross. The HKRC is also seeking corporate donors who will match Wake Forest’s fundraising efforts. Interested companies should contact Andrea Ellis at katrinahelp@wfu.edu or call (336) 758-4549.
