OLLU will be participating in the 2017 San Antonio Sports Corporate Cup, Saturday, June 3, at University of the Incarnate Word. The event brings together employees from area organizations for a day of fitness, friendly competition and employee camaraderie.
In addition to the points that each organization earns during the Corporate Cup competitions, organizations can also earn points by donating to the charities that will be beneficiaries this year. The charities for this year are the San Antonio Food Bank, Haven for Hope, South Texas Blood and Tissue Center, University Health System Blood Donor Services and the Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio.
OLLU has already held a successful blood drive to support the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center. Donations for Haven for Hope, the Boys and Girls Club and the San Antonio Food Bank can be in the form of items or money. Donations can be made on campus during the May Staff Organization meeting and at the faculty and staff appreciation dinner. There will also be a box located in the Main Building Renaissance Parlor and in the Library near the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE).
