Sendoff Donations

We are looking to provide sandwiches, pre-packaged snacks, desserts for our guests to enjoy at the Sendoff on July 19th.

With that being said, we are turning to our alumni base for donations to help defray the cost as students and parents are free to attend. We are in need of beverages-water, soda, ice tea and pre-packaged snacks-chips, pretzels, and granola bars. Gift cards or Penn State swag for raffle prizes. All proceeds from the raffle directly benefit our Chapter's Scholarship fund to help the future of Penn State locally. No donation is too small!

All that donate will be recognized at the social as one of our sponsors and in our weekly newsletter. If your company or you are in a position to make a donation, please contact us at [email protected].

Ice Cream Anyone

Our Chapter is looking into different event ideas for the fall and an ice cream making class was brought to our attention. With that being said, we would like to gauge interest before organizing an event. The 2 hour ice cream making class would be limited to 10 people, 2 hour duration, in the Hoboken area, and require full payment upon registration. You would have 2 pints of vanilla ice cream to bring home. BYOB. No refunds would be available if you need to cancel. The cost would be $85 per person.

If you think you would be interested in doing this, please email us at [email protected].
