Cash-strapped students will be able to swipe their GWorlds at five locations on campus on Jan. 22 to give donations to the relief fund in Haiti, according to a University statement.
Any donations will be evenly split between the American Red Cross and Project Medishare, an independent nonprofit organization that provides health care to Haitian people.
“The GWorld initiative was created in large part at the request of student groups to enable GW students, faculty and staff to more easily contribute to disaster relief,” the statement said.
