The April 11 athletic department fundraiser, which was scheduled to have Jim Lambright as its special guest, has been cancelled. The wine and cheese event didn't have enough people signed up in order to happen.
According to Doug Palmer, only seven people had signed up to join. Though, he said he thinks that if the event went ahead as planned, 25 or 30 people would have shown up.
The next fundraiser is planned for late May or early June, Palmer said. He also expressed much interest in allocating the funds received from the event to athletic scholarships.
This happens at a time when student government is encouraging fundraising by the athletic department, because they are not willing to match the amount of money the athletic department is asking for in the coming 2010-11 year.
