Christmas in July Celebration

Christmas in July is an annually celebrated event at the Indiana Campus of Cambria-Rowe Business College. Every year the Student Group Activities Committee (SGAC) chooses an organization to raise funds for. This quarter the SGAC has decided to help a local charity in Indiana called "The Back to School Bash." This organization is designed to help low income students receive school supplies for the upcoming school year. Last year the organization was able to put together 600 backpacks and sadly had to turn students away because of lack of supplies. This year they are hoping to assemble 1000 backpacks so no student will go without.

This year the “Back to School Bash” will be taking place on August 21st at the Calvary Presbyterian Church on Church Street from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During the event local businesses set up booths so students and parents can gather information about the community. Cambria-Rowe will be providing a booth with FREE cotton candy and face painting for all the students involved. We have a number of fundraising events taking place this year that will make it possible for everyone to be involved in the donations.

“CRBC Christmas in July Luncheon”- SGAC will be holding a Christmas in July luncheon on Thursday, July 22nd. We are asking students to donate food items for the “cookout” style lunch. Tickets for the all you can eat buffet will be sold for 5.00 and available to students, faculty, and staff for purchase.

“Christmas in July” Chinese Auction - This year SGAC will be conducting a “Christmas” themed Chinese auction. We are asking students to purchase a $5.00 gift and wrap it in your favorite Christmas wrapping paper. We will bring in the gifts the day of the luncheon and sell tickets so you will have chances to win.

“Christmas” Bingo - This year the “Christmas in July” committee decided to play “Christmas Bingo” after our luncheon. Each bingo card will be 1.00 a piece with no limit to how many cards you can purchase. We will be playing three games total with great prizes to be awarded to the winners. Remember the more cards you buy the better chance you have to win.

“Back to School Bash” paper ornaments - Paper ornaments are for sale and will be placed on the Christmas tree located in the student lounge. The ornaments will be 1.00 and all proceeds will go to the “Back to School Bash”.

Ice Cream Social -SGAC will be conducting a ice cream social on July 27th during lunch. Each student will have the option to purchase sundaes for 2.00 a piece which include two scoops of ice cream, your choice of topping, and whip cream. Additional scoops will be 1.00 a piece.

CRBC T-Shirts/Ribbed tanks - There will be CRBC t-shirts for sale starting . The t-shirts will be 10.00 a piece and come in a choice of pink or gray. Order forms will be located on the SGAC bulletin board.

We are hoping to raise as much as we can for this great cause. Remember all proceeds will go toward The “Back to School Bash” Let’s lend a hand in helping these kids have a great school year!
