Chester,
Pa. – With Halloween just days away, Widener University students are
hosting a “Strut Your Mutt” dog costume contest on Oct. 27 to raise money for the Providence Animal Center and gain first-hand experience in event planning.
The
dog costume contest is being organized by a group of students in
Associate Professor Dr. Angie Corbo’s event planning and public
relations course. The event, which is open to the Widener community, is
an opportunity for the students to learn how to plan an awareness
campaign and community outing that is both fun and raises money for a
worthy cause.
Participants
will pay a $5 entry fee that will go directly to the animal shelter in
Media, Pennsylvania. In 2016, Providence Animal Center helped families
adopt a record 3,765 cats and dogs.
Widener
University President Dr. Julie E. Wollman and Provost Dale
Scalise-Smith are expected to attend the event with their canines.
