Ivory Ella at Sacred Heart University:
Bianca Timpano, Sacred Heart University’s Ivory Ella Club President, responded to these questions about how the Ivory Ella Club is run on the SHU campus.
How will Ivory Ella Club contribute to Sacred Heart’s campus?
“One of the main ways the club will help out on campus is by contributing to other organizations. If other clubs and organizations need a great fundraising idea, we will gladly donate shirts to their purpose. These can be used as raffles or any other fundraiser they may need them for.”
What is the Ivory Ella Club goal?
“We set a goal to raise $500 by the end of 2017 with fundraisers and other events we plan to hold on campus. This club will donate that money to the philanthropies that Ivory Ella supports as well as other charitable causes.”
Why should people join this club?
“People should join this club because as the Ivory Ella motto is ‘Good Clothes for a Good Cause’, this club will follow that and help continue the good work the organization is doing. By donating money to those in need, spreading the word about saving the elephants, and helping others on campus- Ivory Ella Club will make a difference at Sacred Heart. If people like to help others in new ways, this is the perfect club for them.”
What does this organization mean to you?
“As president, this organization means a lot. I started working at Ivory Ella around late May 2015. I started off in customer service, then began to train others before I came back to school. The first year of Ivory Ella was tough because it became very popular very fast, which caused us to be behind about 2,000 orders most weeks, due to how fast the orders were coming in. Now, Ivory Ella is so efficient that as soon as you submit your order, it is already being packaged and sent. I created this club because I will be graduating in the Fall and want Ivory Ella to remain on campus for as long as possible.”
