Notre Dame, Other Schools Give to Charity

Notre Dame was one of the over two dozen major NCAA universities to contribute to charity in the first ever Charity Bowl. Fanblogs.com, a great place to get info on your favorite college sports program (and Notre Dame, specifically) has the whole thing covered. Although the Irish did not come in first in the competition, they were represented nonetheless, and it’s always good to involve yourself in such well-deserving endeavors.

The purpose of the Charity Bowl was to increase participation in charitable contributions to the Red Cross, CARE and International Rescue Committee, amazingly helpful organizations which help in disaster relief like those for the Myanmar typhoon, China earthquake and even the continuing effort to aid New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Notre Dame Fanbloggers contributed a total of $100 to the charity organizations. While that was nowhere near first place Michigan ($7,260), it is still worth a blog and worth congratulations. To the anonymous donors out there, the Notre Dame Blog salutes you. Competition in the spirit of giving is a great thing. Incredibly, the Charity Bowl helped to raise a total of over $20,000! Fanblogs said it best, when they said, “Wow. Just… wow.”
