Professors Pied for a Cause
For the last two weeks, the Concord Social Work Organization ran a table both on Concord’s main campus and Beckley campus, where students could donate money as a means to decide which of their professors would receive a pie to the face. Why? To collect money to purchase supplies for children under Child Protective Services.
“I called CPS and the woman I spoke to said that they love duffel bags,” said Cady Perkins, who was helping to run the table and collect the money. They also plan to use the money to fill the duffel bags with necessities such as blankets, since many children removed from their homes and placed into the foster care system have little of their own.
Ryan Jenkins, President of Concord SWO, said that the reason they chose to do the Pie a Professor fundraiser specifically was all a matter of timing: “It’s almost finals week,” he said, “so we thought that now would be a good time for something fun.” Perkins added that the professors who volunteered were excited to do so and happy to help.
In the end, three professors from the Athens main campus along with one professor from the Beckley Center were Pied for a good cause.
