No tricks, just great causes! 🧡

The Class of ’27 combined creativity and compassion this Halloween by presenting foundations to persuade the judges (our professors) to donate toward meaningful causes.

🏆 Congrats to F.O.A.M for taking first place and Rett Syndrome for a strong second! 👻

Keep the giving going by supporting one of these incredible foundations! 💙
