About this campaign

The ISC/IFC and other student leaders from various organizations (including HC, SGA, OG, STIX, the Wick, Interfaith, the OCCU and more!) have teamed up to launch the #standupsewanee movement, an inclusive community service campaign that focuses on meeting the needs of our larger community through service and philanthropy. This fundraiser is designed to accomplish 3 things: (1) empower the McClurg workers who give so much to serve us; (2) call for higher wages for our everyday heroes; and (3) RAISE MONEY (!) to donate directly to Chef Rick's contingency fund, which covers emergency expenses when workers find themselves homeless, need to pay medical debt, funeral expenses, etc. It's time to give back to those who give so much to us. It's time to stand up, Sewanee!

We recognize that one fundraiser won't resolve the issue of insecurities. We would also like to remind everyone that these people are no charity case. In so many ways, they are our heroes. Barbara Myers, the lovely woman who makes our cookies, testified as a young widow in front of Ted Kennedy and the Senate Judiciary Committee to advocate for more equitable mine safety laws. We want to raise awareness and empower our workers, like Barbara, who deserve to not worry, to know the people they serve care for them and thank them for their service. We recognize that it is the least we can do, and that it is so important that we do it. It's time to stand up, Sewanee!
