Easter Basket Collection

For the tenth year, the Northeast Indiana Alumni Directors Consortium is seeking wrapped Easter baskets to be given to the children of SCAN clients (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect). This is a great activity for families, church groups, your office, scout troops, and more. Ten Fort Wayne area colleges and universities join forces each Easter to collect more than 1,200 baskets for these children. Items must be commercially packaged (nothing homemade) and your entire basket should be wrapped so that nothing falls out. Drop off the baskets at any area college or university until March 26. At IPFW you can drop off your baskets at the Kettler Hall or Walb Student Union Information Desks or call us at 260-481-6807 and a representative from the Alumni Relations office will pick up your basket(s) from your car as you drive up to the Walb Student Union semi-circle driveway.

March 2, 2:00 p.m to 7:00 p.m.;

March 3, 9: a.m. to 2: p.m.
