THE CHANCELLOR’S CUP CHALLENGE!
During Homecoming Week (January 30 to February 2), we will be accepting donations in support of the pantry at SULB in Hammond and DSAC in Westville.
Start getting your teams ready! Start strategizing on the best items to buy to get the best value and the most points! Let’s see who will get the cup this year!
Check out the rules below and contact Scott Iverson with any questions!
Good luck to all our teams!
