The annual Breadlift is back this year, and Huskies are aiming to break their fundraising record! Keep an eye out on Saturday, Nov. 18, for Huskies out in Portage neighborhoods looking to exchange loaves of bread for donations to charity. Students aim to raise $22,213.54 for the Karen Wellington Foundation, a breast cancer awareness organization. This charity was chosen in large part in honor of the mother of a Portage student.
