Tutoring Fundraiser for Greater Lafayette Legal Defense Fund

04-27-2021

Need extra help preparing for your math finals? The math graduate students are donating an hour of their time to tutor undergraduate students for final exams in exchange for students making a small direct donation to the Greater Lafayette Legal Defense Fund (GLLD). We have graduate students available for 26, 1-hour tutoring sessions on May 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd during the day.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please

Sign up for a tutoring time-slot first to make sure one is still available (see the link on the attached flyer or go directly here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4da8af22a2fac43-fundraiser)
Make a donation on the GLLD website (https://www.chuffed.org/project/glldfund). We are recommending a donation of $30, but will accept any level of contribution you feel you can afford.
Show the email confirmation that you receive from GLLD to the tutor at your tutoring session as proof of donation.

Please sign up by this Friday, April 30^th, 6pm. Time-slots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You will receive an email from a tutor with details on where and how to meet for the tutoring session (e.g. a zoom link or meeting place and time).

We are happy to offer this tutoring opportunity and support a good cause at the same time. Please email Sarah Percival if you have any questions about this fundraising event (sperciva@purdue.edu).
