National Orange Day is March 24th!

The day Syracuse University was founded, it is an annual celebration that allows SU students, staff and alumni to join together to show their orange spirit and pride by volunteering in a variety of community service events. 

The theme for National Orange Day is “Reading and Literacy”. 

To honor this theme, Boston Orange will be

 “Bowling over Illiteracy” 

Bowling on Tuesday, March 31^st

Lucky Strikes has graciously donated all of the lanes for our group. 

The cost is $15 per person (purchase tickets in advance through paypal below) which includes bowling shoes, 2 hours of bowling and chips and salsa. Proceeds will be donated to the charitable organization ReadBoston, an organization founded by Mayor Menino in 1995.  Read Boston, a Boston Redevelopment Authority program, is dedicated to having all Boston-area children reading on grade level by the time they have completed the third grade.  The program focuses on three core elements: competence of reading programs in schools, family involvement in a child's literacy, and the availability of books and literacy instruction in after-school programs. See: http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/ReadBoston/JCSRB.asp.

Everyone who wears Syracuse Orange will receive a raffle ticket for great SU prizes. 

We encourage alumni to also bring new or used books as additional donations – which will earn you an additional raffle ticket!
