February 28, 2008 - 08:00PM Levin Ballroom
Tympanium Euphorium is hosting a benefit, Brandeis Cares, to raise money
for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS: The nation's leading industry
based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. As such a
strong community based upon social action, we felt it would be
wonderful to help such an important association. Although, helping a
good cause should be enough to incite all of you to come out and stop
by the Brandeis Cares table in Usdan on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday to purchase your $3 tickets for Thursday's event (or $5
tickets at the door), if that enough doesn't grab your attention... An
entire performance of clubs across campus performing skills that are not
their own should!
Please come out! If you have any questions feel free to stop by our
website at http://people.brandeis.edu/~mmlotek/brandeiscares.html or
email Marissa Mlotek at mmlotek@brandeis.edu. We look forward to
seeing you there!
