This year, fortunately, the March of 1,000 Umbrellas took place on a sunny day. This year’s campaign co-ordinators are Miriam Posner and Professor Catherine Mulligan, and their committee is looking forward to coming up with enjoyable and original events to raise awareness of the cause. Look for lots of fun over the next two months, as Concordia participates in this umbrella organization’s support for non-profit organizations around Montreal. Last year, Concordians gave $136,000, so this year’s goal will be higher still. The best way to give is through a pay cheque deduction.
