9/11 Day of Service

I. Will. Remember.

The 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance was established in order to pay tribute to the lives that were lost and injured on this tragic day.  The purpose of this day is to allow people to put aside their differences and reestablish a sense of unity and compassion in dedication to the victims and those who gave assistance on 9/11.  Even though 9/11 was a tragic day, 9/11 National Day of Service represents the goodness and compassion that exists in every human being.  Every year, Campbell University participates in 9/11 National Day of Service in order to help reestablish a sense of unity and compassion.  The University's students, faculty, and staff body volunteer their time in order pay a tribute to the victims of 9/11 and those who served on the day of the attacks. 

On September 11th from 3:30p.m.-5:30p.m., Campbell University will be serving the following community partners in tribute to the victims of 9/11:

1. Baptist Fellowship of Angier: helping with indoor and outdoor games, crafts, reading, and registration for the fall after-school tutoring program.
2. Buies Creek Fire Department: helping with day to day cleaning, check offs, and other special projects.
3. Buies Creek First Baptist Church: landscaper work around the church.
4. Cape Fear Valley Blood Donor Center: blood drive will be taking place in the Rumley Center from 10:00a.m.-3:00p.m.
