REACH

Hey everyone! I thought that I would tell you guys all about REACH which is a new club at UC. Sophomores and two friends of mine, Michelle and Sean, have just formed REACH this year. REACH stands for Raising Educated Awareness for the Cause HIV. This club is all about HIV and aids awareness. The goal is to help children and teens afflicted with HIV somewhere in their lives whether it is their parents or themselves.
REACH has just finished a book drive for the Academy Street Fire House in Newark which is a shelter for anyone who has issues with HIV and aids. The goal was to collect 200 books and around 675 books were collected. There are new projects already starting up. REACH is raffling off two red iPod nanos that have REACH engraved on the back. Also, Staples has given us a 500 dollar grant worth of school supplies. Last club period, all the members assembled back packs with schools supplies which will be given to the Academy Street Fire House.
I am an active member in this club and I think it is a great club for anyone to join. If you’re an incoming freshman or even currently a student in the school and have not joined the club, I recommend joining. It is a fun club that does great things for a great cause.
