First ever “Push” event raises funds for USO
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers “The Push,” a student event that raised money for the USO.
- The News-Letter reported that groups including SGA hosted a Wyman Park competition in which teams pushed a 1,000-pound Army Humvee 100 yards.
- The paper reported that WaWa won, FIJI placed second, and prizes included a $300 PJ’s Pub gift card and $100 Chipotle gift cards.
- The article adds that sophomore Natalie Boyse called the event a unique, fun and well-organized way to support the USO and bring student groups together.
- The reporter writes that more than 150 people took part and the event raised $2,000, exceeding its $1,500 goal.
- According to the article, Michael St. Germain said organizers faced challenges getting a Humvee and recruiting teams, but wanted to create a charity event that was not a run or walk.
