Boxes for Boston aims to bring joy to bombing victims, first responders
Danielle Roosa, a senior Communication major, is leading a student drive to brighten the lives of those injured in the Boston Marathon bombings as well as emergency personnel affected by the attacks.“Boxes for Boston’s goal is to make the victims and the first responders happy,” she says. “These boxes are not a relief box, but a box of joy. If we make any of these people happy, we have done our job. Around 151 students have already joined the event. But we still need more participation.”
Members of the campus community can participate by bringing items such as candy, letters, drawings or stuffed animals to the Campus Center Auditorium on Sunday, April 28 from 3-6 p.m. where the boxes will be decorated and filled.
Target has donated a lot of shoeboxes and Roosa is working on other donations.
