None of us can ignore the plight of the people in the Gulf Coast area. Aggies have asked what we can do and we want to respond now. We want to deliver a coordinated, planned response from all A&T Alumni.

The N.C. A&T Alumni Association is formally announcing its Hurricane Fund to support the needs of students and families impacted by the Hurricane. The goal is a total contribution of $50,000 to be collected by October 15th. The N.C. A&T Alumni Association will consolidate its giving with the nationwide giving effort being managed through the Tom Joyner Foundation.

We know that you are being solicited by a number of organizations. As a collective family, we know we can have an impact in the lives of affected people. We have demonstrated that in the past when we had floods in the eastern part of North Carolina in 2000.

We need you to make your donation count now when people need it the most. We are asking chapters to coordinate this effort to support this drive so that our support can have the greatest impact.

National President Teresa M. Davis
