Two of our UNLV alumni chapters and clubs are running donation drives this summer to collect items for local nonprofits. Support these chapters and clubs while making a difference in the community! Boxes for donations can be found in the Foundation Building (front desk) and the Richard Tam Alumni Center (front desk). Items will be collected through the end of the day on Thursday, July 24. Details for each donation drive are below:
