Homecoming Donation Supports Local Special Olympic Athletes

Representatives from the Homecoming Committee present a check to Special Olympics of Northeast Missouri. During homecoming week, Truman students raised more than $17,000 in support of the organization. Several different fundraisers took place throughout September leading up to homecoming week, including “pieing” or “egging” members of organizations, as well as a large number of online efforts. Students also sold food from local partners including To Die For Bakery and Casey’s, along with out-of-town options such as Panera and Crumbl Cookies. Local food delivery of purchased and homemade food also contributed to the total.
