Community rallies around student support with ‘Buy A Student A Breakfast’ campaign 

University of Lethbridge alumni, employees and community supporters answered the call on “Giving Tuesday” last week, supporting the annual “Buy A Student A Breakfast” campaign in record fashion. The final tally resulted in $9,365 raised and 1,560 breakfast coupons purchased for ULethbridge students, as they head into their final exams. 

“Thanks to your incredible generosity, our students are starting this exam season with the nourishment and support they need to succeed,” says Cyndi Crane, Alumni Association president. “Beyond a warm meal, your support delivers an even greater gift — a reminder to students their community is behind them, rooting for their success. That simple breakfast coupon could be the boost they need to tackle their exams with confidence and determination.” 

In addition to community support, ULethbridge’s food service provider donated a percentage of the breakfast cost to the campaign. 

“Our students’ success is our priority and we’re grateful for the community’s help to achieve that goal,” adds Kathleen Massey, vice-provost of students.
