Cornhole Tourney to Kick-off PVM United Way Effort

Gearing up for the Purdue University United Way Campaign, Purdue Veterinary Medicine United Way committee members Andrea Waibel, Julie Lewellen, Jessica Mabbitt, Brittany Vale, and Tempess Williams are organizing a cornhole tournament for September 6, 2019.  Two sets of cornhole game boards will be set-up outside the east entrance to Lynn Hall, where teams will compete in a single-elimination tournament for only $5.00 per team with all proceeds benefitting the United Way of Greater Lafayette.

This event will help kick-off PVM’s participation in the Purdue University campaign for the United Way of Greater Lafayette. On the date of the tournament, food will be available for purchase and spectators are encouraged to join in the fun. Other fundraising events also are being organized.

Every employee at PVM will be receiving an email about the United Way campaign. One of the College’s goals for this year’s campaign is to have everyone complete their pledge form – even if they do not wish to contribute through the campaign.

Any questions regarding this year’s campaign should be directed to PVM United Way Committee Chair Andrea Waibel (waibela@purdue.edu).
