UNB Law Students Raise $4,700 for Local Food Bank

On January 26th, 2008, the UNB Law Students’ Society raised $4,700 in support of the Fredericton Food Bank at their annual Charity Auction.

“Our success can be credited to the tremendous support of the law school community. We couldn’t be more pleased,” said Patricia Beh, a third-year law student and one of the event’s co-chairs.

This year was the 10th anniversary of the Charity Auction, and was the most successful in recent memory. The value of the donations collected surpassed last year’s total by over $2,000.

“We knew the night was going well when gift certificates starting selling for more than their face value. People were really getting into the spirit of a charity auction,” said Tyler Botten, also a third-year law student and the other event co-chair.

On Thursday, January 31st, the Charity Auction organizers presented the Fredericton Food Bank with a cheque representing the proceeds fo the event. Pictured above are organizers Patricia Beh and Tyler Botten on either side of a representative from the Food Bank.
