The primary goal of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills commitment to service area is to engage the student-athlete in service to his or her campus and surrounding communities. Purdue student-athletes value the importance of giving back to the community. Through many service projects throughout the year, Purdue student-athletes show their appreciation by helping those in the Greater Lafayette area. Here are just a few of the many organizations our student-athletes were actively working for during the past year: ��� Annual Blood Drive ��� Boys and Girls Club ��� College Mentors for Kids ��� Food Finders Canned Food Drive ��� Habitat for Humanity ��� Haiti and South Africa Relief ��� Leukemia Walk ��� Military Appreciation Day ��� Purdue Cancer Challenge ��� Purdue Dance Marathon for Riley Children���s Hospital ��� YWCA Domestic Violence Prevention ��� Youth Sports Camps MAKE A GIFT JPC MEMBERSHIP EVENTS Santa Claus visited Mackey Arena prior to the holidays. On Dec. 18, during the men���s basketball game against Ball State, and Dec. 21 during the women���s basketball game against IUPUI, Santa spent time in the Wooden Club listening to the Christmas lists of many John Purdue Club members, young and old. The JPC staff hopes you have a wonderful holiday season, and we wish you a happy, healthy and hopeful 2013! YEAR-END GIVING As you think about your year-end charitable contributions, please consider making a gift and becoming a member of the John Purdue Club: 100 percent of your gift will help provide a prestigious degree for our 558 Boilermaker student-athletes. Current members also can give more by increasing their donations or moving to the next membership level before Jan. 1, 2013. However, TODAY is the last day for your donations to be received in order to be counted for 2012 tax purposes. FOR A FULL SCHEDULE OF PURDUE ATHLETICS EVENTS VISIT PURDUESPORTS.COM FLY YOUR FLAG!
