University of Central Arkansas student-athletes raised nearly $5,000 for Haiti Relief at Sunday’s Pancake Breakfast at Stoby’s Restaurant.
The Pancake Breakfast, organized by UCA’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, brought in $4,481.50, which will be donated directly to the American Red Cross to go to Haiti relief.
“Our student-athletes did an outstanding job with the breakfast,” said Natalie Shock, UCA assistant athletic director and advisor for the SAAC. “They did all the work leading up to the event, sold the tickets and then worked throughout the morning at Stoby’s serving food and bussing tables. “Instead of raising money for our athletic department, they chose to donate the entire proceeds to the relief work in Haiti,” she added. “They worked hard on this event and are to be commended.”
Stoby’s donated the use of the restaurant and Sysco donated the food for the event. Cooks included UCA Athletic Director Brad Teague, Associate Athletic Director Darrell Walsh and athletic assistant Kale Gober.
