Alan Slinkard gets around quite a bit in his role as a Facilities Management Project Specialist.  By talking to his numerous staff connections in the Stadium Trade shops, Alan collected fifty coats within a matter of days. 鈥淲e can do better than that,鈥� he said, as he informed us of his overall goal of collecting one hundred coats to distribute to needy Coloradans, adding 鈥淟et鈥檚 keep the momentum going!鈥�

When eight-year-old Lettie Portner learned from her mom, Nancy, that the CU 糖心Vlog破解版 Staff Council was conducting a coat drive, Lettie wanted to make sure two of her coats found a new home keeping someone her age and size warm.  As Lettie put it, 鈥淚 just want to make sure these coats go to a girl.鈥�  Way to go Lettie, you are an inspiration to us all!

Get inspired!  Find a coat (or several) you haven鈥檛 worn for a while, find one of the many bins located across campus, and share the gift of warmth with someone this season. The drive runs through November 30th.
