NU Stands with Thailand raises money for flood victims - Campus - The Daily Northwestern - Northwestern University

NU Stands with Thailand raises money for flood victims - Campus - The Daily Northwestern - Northwestern University: The Northwestern Thai Club launched an on-campus campaign called NU Stands with Thailand to raise money for flood victims Tuesday.

The group offered Thai bubble tea to NU students and faculty at a booth outside of the Kellogg School of Management's Jacobs Center in exchange for donations at its first on-campus fundraising event Tuesday. Thai Club began taking donations two weeks ago through an online donation site, which has already raised more than $1,000 toward the group's goal of $5,000. The money will go to victims of the worst floods Thailand has seen in 50 years through several different nonprofit relief organizations, including Thai Red Cross, group members said.
