Hey all! We are so excited to see all of you at Buzzing for Change tomorrow at 12PM! Unfortunately, the hair dressers that we had scheduled to attend the event are no longer able to come to cut and buzz hair. We are extremely sad that the stylists are unable to come, but we will still be raising money for Special Love. We will be pie-ing brothers in the face similarly to the event that we held last year. So come out to throw pies in your favorite brothers faces. There will be also be a ticket giveaway/raffle, food and drinks and games! We’re still so excited to have everyone come out, so get ready for an awesome afternoon!

Hey everyone, Buzzing for Change is now only 11 days away! As we enter the final stretch, we thought we’d tell you more about the amazing Special Love camp programs that we are supporting with our fundraising efforts!
Camp Fantastic has occurred annually since 1983, providing children with cancer a space of laughter, fun, and unconditional love and support. Over the course of a week or a weekend, these children can share friendship and memories, swimming, painting, singing, dancing, and all kinds of camp activities at an uncertain, difficult time in their lives. Other camp programs offered by Special Love include camps specifically for siblings and parents of children with cancer. All of these programs aim to provide a comfortable, open space for people experiencing the same struggle to come together and feel at home. To learn more, visit the Special Love website: www.specialove.org/camps/.
Remember, you still have time to donate through this link: http://www.bit.ly/B4C2018. We hope to see you in Kogan Plaza between 12PM and 4pm on April 21st!

Jan Yonan is a brother of Alpha Phi Omega! This is his BUZZ FROM THE PAST on why he chose to make the cut:

“I think buzzing can be a great opportunity for students without immense time on their hands to still get involved in philanthropy and better the lives of our D.C. neighbors. Special Love might not be known by most GW students, but the Buzzing event is an avenue for education, as well as a meaningful haircut.”

Hey everyone! Did you know that, beyond offering camps and opportunities to children with cancer and their families, Special Love also offers financial relief to them? Special Love’s Kathy Russell Emergency Relief Fund began in 1983 and provides coverage for some non-medical family payments (such as mortgages, electric, gas or phone bills, or auto repairs). Special Love also offers scholarships to cancer survivors through the Kay/Moore Scholarship Fund, offering around $50,000 annually in scholarship aid to past and present Special Love participants!
The financial support offered by Special Love, in addition to its community and support-building mission, is an additional inspiration to us at GWU Buzzing for Change 2018 as we fundraise and gear up for April 7th. If you would like to learn more about the wonderful programs and resources offered by Special Love, check out their website at http://www.specialove.org/.
Remember, you can get ahead of the game and donate to Buzzing for Change today! Just follow this link to help us reach our goal of $2,000: http://www.bit.ly/B4C2018
