Kettering College ‘Texting for Haiti’
Kettering College of Medical Arts faculty, staff and students will simultaneously text donations to the Red Cross Relief Fund for Haiti today, Tuesday, Jan. 26.
Kettering College officials and students will gather in the Boonshoft Center for Medical Sciences at noon to participate in the “Texting for Haiti” event. The event will allow the college community to show support for Haiti, which was struck by a major earthquake on Jan. 12.
“This is our way of coming together as an academic community of faith and providing spiritual and financial support to the survivors of the earthquake,” said Clive Wilson, Kettering College chaplain and one of the event’s organizers.
Organizers have requested that college faculty release students from classes early or allow them to arrive late in order for everyone to participate in the event.
Official Red Cross containers also will be available for people who prefer to donate with cash or checks instead of by text message.
Kettering College of Medical Arts, chartered by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is a fully accredited college that offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in health science education.
