“It’s inspiring to see the UofA family come together and give back each year,” said Macechko. “When we each give what we can, it adds up in a big way. That’s the power of participation.”
Birthday sweets, a photo booth, and party favors will be included. Contestants will also face off to win $500 for the project of their choice.
Students can drop by the Birthday Bash Wednesday between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Union Mall.
