NOM^3, your favorite student run catering group, is giving away Banh Mi in the middle College Walk. What is Banh Mi, you ask? A vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese sandwich with pan-seared tofu, fresh cucumbers, sautéed onions, and pickled daikon. Our Nommer contacts tell us that donations are appreciated and will go to Relay For Life.

Speaking of Relay for Life…it’s happening now! From now until midnight on Low Plaza, Relay for Life will be hosting all sorts of fun events like Capture the Flag, a scavenger hunt, a whipped cream pie eating contest, and musical chairs, as well as performances by CU Bellydance, Columbia Nonseq, and Blaxel. Make the most of this beautiful day and go check it out!

Take a break from studying and hurry out of your hard-fought Butler cubicles!  Relay For Life committee members are giving away s’mores, hot drinks, and snacks in a study break from 12-2 on the Lerner Ramps.  They will also have some fantastic t-shirts on sale, with slogans such as “Great Boobs Are Worth Fighting For” and “I Put Out…Cigarettes” with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Unless you’ve been closeted in the stacks all day, you probably heard the shindig out on the Plaza, which will raise lots and lots of money ($64,445 and counting) to benefit the American Cancer Society. It’s also rather entertaining for passersby, with various field-day type activities filling every corner of the quad. More pictures after the jump.
