‘Virtual’ charity game raises $36,000 for children’s cancer
Faced with a pandemic and health protocols limiting or prohibiting indoor gatherings, the 27th annual C-U Swish-Out Childhood Cancer Challenge, organized and presented by Town & Country Federal Credit Union, was at risk of being canceled for the first time in its history. However, based on feedback from past participants and strong support from sponsors and volunteers, it was clear that the ‘shot’ must go on. Instead of a one-day, 3-on-3, co-ed tournament for adults and youth teams, this year’s event transitioned into a ‘virtual’ 3-on-3, free-throw competition.
The competition, which ran from April 12 to May 8 raised $36,000 to support the Maine Children’s Cancer Program.
Ahead of a week bustling with multiple commencement ceremonies, students, faculty, and staff took time on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate graduating LGBTQIAP+ ((lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender and pansexual)) students with the 2021 Lavender Commencement Ceremony, hosted virtually by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
