Fort Lauderdale, FL – Oct. 22, 2018 — Keiser University is committed to helping those impacted by Hurricane Michael. The University is launching “Keiser U Cares 4 U,” a statewide fundraising effort, at its annual Scare Fair Open Houses on Wed., Oct. 24, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at 16 of its Florida campuses.

“The Scare Fair events provide a great kickoff for our ongoing relief efforts because communities are already coming together on our campus for an evening of fun activities,” said Belinda Keiser, Vice Chancellor for Community Relations and Student Advancement.

With campuses located throughout Florida, Keiser University students, staff, faculty and alums understand the devastation caused by a major storm and the long road to recovery afterward. Students attending classes and employees at many of Keiser’s 21 campuses have family and friends hit hard by the recent hurricane in the state’s panhandle.

Many Keiser University students and graduates work in the fields of health care, firefighting, law enforcement, and other ‘first responder’ roles that have a heart and responsibility to help those in need. Also, 20 percent of Keiser students are either veterans, active duty or have military family members who know the important part the military plays in response and recovery. The Keiser U Cares 4 U is a way for all campuses to combine their efforts to make a collective donation.

To provide help in areas where it is needed most, cash or check donations can be made to “Keiser University Charitable Account.” Keiser University is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Donations are tax deductible. Money collected will go to support the Florida Disaster Fund https://www.floridadisaster.org/. As the recovery efforts go forward, Keiser University campuses will continue to raise funds through various activities in the weeks and months to come. To find out what we have planned, please visit us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!

Each of the following campus locations will be open for their annual “Scare Fair,” and will also have booths available for any who wish to make a monetary donation to the “Keiser U Cares 4 U” relief effort. For more information on the Scare Fair Open House events, call 1-888-844-8404 or visit www.KUOpenHouse.com.
