During a pre-game Homecoming tailgate, the Class of '88 presented the
Dartmouth Chapter of Habitat for Humanity with a check for $20,000. The
ceremony was attended by Don Derrick from the Upper Valley Habitat for Humanity
affiliate, Kyle Polite from the Tucker Foundation, Anne-Marie Keane '88,
current Habitat student leaders and volunteers and members of the Class of '88
and their families.
Dartmouth students, in collaboration with the Upper Valley Affiliate, other
community agencies, local businesses, non-profits, community members and
Dartmouth alumni, fundraised over $100,000 for this year's Habitat house on
Meriden Road in Lebanon, NH.
Habitat for Humanity International works to build simple, decent, affordable
houses in partnership with those in need of adequate shelter. The Dartmouth
chapter is a student-run project through the William Jewett Tucker Foundation
and works with the Upper Valley Habitat for Humanity Affiliate, local churches,
families, and other community groups. This year's house will be the third
constructed by the Dartmouth chapter.
