Philantrophy

The CAACURH Cougar Philanthropy will be held during Friday November 10 to Sunday November 12. Delegations will bring their cans to the BWI Marriot Hotel.
There will be a table in the registration area where schools can bring
their cans. Each delegation is asked to bring at least 20 cans.
Delegations that may not be able to bring 20 cans are asked to bring a monetary donation of $20 ($1 per can). Delegations are encouraged to hold can drives at their own schools to raise more cans. If a delegation cannot bring 20 cans or $20 then that delegation is encouraged to hold a canned food drive at their own school and donate to their local food bank.We are asking delegations to bring hard cans (soft items like Ramen will be accepted but will count as 1/2 a normal can). The Delegation that brings the most amount of cans will be awarded a prize.
