Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) challenges you to be bold and donate to this year’s Helping Hams campaign!

The official kickoff will begin with a ceremony at 10:45 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market.

The campaign will run through Dec. 6 to raise money to donate holiday hams to charitable organizations affiliated with Fresno State.

Donations will be accepted at the Gibson Farm Market in increments of $5.

Six donations (or $30) will purchase one ham for a family in need.

Donations via check can be made payable to and dropped off at the Gibson Farm Market.

Charitable organizations affiliated with Fresno State can be considered for holiday ham donations by applying online at bit.ly/helpinghams2018 through Dec. 6.

Thanks to the community’s generosity, past campaigns have exceeded goals and raised money to donate 1,052 hams since 2013.

Last year, 250 hams were donated to charitable organizations.
