Supporting Causes on Campus

If everyday of the year each of us could take a moment to pause and reflect on charitable causes, we all can make a difference in the world.  Today, April 5, marks Toms Shoes "One Day Without Shoes" awareness events throughout the country.  At USC Bookstore, two causes are currently being promoted in a feature location in the store. 

The OUT OF SIGHT FAITH foundation benefits from the sale of the red Trojans tee with back imprint in Braille. As a young man, Jake Olson has overcome the loss of both his eyes to cancer. Yet Jake's loss of sight has only increased his drive and passion for life. Jake's Out of Sight Faith foundation provides support and resources to other blind children and other initiatives. http://www.outofsightfaith.com/.

The white tee promotes SWIM WITH MIKE: an annual swim-a-thon held to raise money for the USC Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund. Founded and hosted at the University of Southern California since 1981, this year's Swim with Mike events will take place in various locations throughout the month of April.  swimwithmike.org

What cause will you support today, tomorrow and in the months to come?
