| These lads are. |
We certainly are, and we're Busting Ours to do it! Get excited for March 26th, 2012, the day that will kick off our annual Busting Ours to Save Yours week in support of Lance Armstrong and the Livestrong foundation!
A little background on the Foundation..
Why at Washburn?..
Inspired by the mission of the Livestrong Foundation, we wanted to help by committing a week to helping raise funds for the Foundation's work. Last year, we hosted a Livestrong philanthropy week that resulted in Gamma-Nu raising over $1,300 for the Livestrong Foundation. This year, we hope to beat that amount!

| Look at those 4 lovely ladies! |
But where can we expect to see you in the run-up to this wonderful week?..
EVERYWHERE
That's right. We'll be tabling in the Union 11:00 to 1:00 March 12th-15th a la the week before Spring Break!
And every day during Livestrong Week. We've got you covered.
We're accepting donations of only $10 to Livestrong to secure your very own Livestrong Week T-shirt AND official matching Livestrong wristband!
Washburn Student Organizations will each have the chance to decorate their very own Livestrong Sack before the 26th, all of which will be proudly and publicly displayed at our Union table! Vote for your favorite Sack and win yet another great prize!
"If you have much, give of your wealth; If you have little, give of your heart"
Get your support ready..
Because March 26th, we're going LIVE!
