From April 18 to April 25, the Sidney-Pacific (SP) graduate community collected and donated 450 pounds of clothing to the Salvation Army. This clothing drive coincided with a "House Cup Fashion Show" — co-organized by George Chen and Emily Calandrelli — in which different floors and halls within SP sent representatives to "model" the donated clothing. Residents were encouraged to include additional accessories, as the image above demonstrates.
