Dignesh Solanki and Anant Singh enjoy some music and hot chocolate Dec. 3 during a Giving Tuesday event in the student centre.
Anant Singh knows a good deal when he sees it.
A student of business and computer science, he was one of many to enjoy a free cup of hot chocolate and free entertainment during celebrations of Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3 in the CAW Student Centre.
“It’s good,” he said as he sipped his beverage. “As for the music, I love it.”
The classic rock cover band Leave Those Kids Alone performed while volunteers collected donations for the Campus Food Pantry and the Unemployed Help Centre's Coats for Kids campaign.
The impetus for the event went beyond a chance to listen to good tunes and chat with friends, said Annual Giving Program co-ordinator Chris Knack.
“It draws attention to the cause of philanthropy,” he said. “It’s about awareness and letting people know about the need to support students.”

The University’s 2024 faculty and staff campaign is continuing. Employees who make a donation by Dec. 15, online at uwindsor.ca/supportuwindsor or by returning a completed contribution form, will enter a draw for a free vacation day in 2025.
