Kevin Hunter SWAB 2020 Fundraising

Hey guys! Shop With A Bulldawg (SWAB) is an organization I've had the chance to work with over the last five years at UGA. SWAB's mission is to celebrate the value of community, the excitement of the holidays, and the children of Athens, and we do that by hosting an event each holiday season. We partner UGA students with children form the Athens-Clarke County area and allow them to purchase holiday gifts for them. This year is going to look a little different because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are still working hard to make this event a success. 

I am serving on the executive board as one of the Co-Directors of Ambassadors. Ambassadors is a group within SWAB that exists to spread awareness on social media and across campus about the organization and help contribute through fundraising, brainstorming and volunteering throughout the year to make event day possible. Working with ambassadors this year has been an incredible experience that I wouldn't have been able to pull off with out the help of my awesome Co  (ily Khemisha!!), our ambassador group leaders (these guys rock!!) and, of course, our ambassadors. It has been such an honor to see all the work they are putting into making this event special for everyone involved!

This event and organization have shaped my college career, offering me opportunities to love both the UGA and ACC communities over the last 4.5 years. I've had the opportunity to serve on First Year Council (2016), Committee (2017 & 2018), and on the Executive Board for the past two years (as Co-Director of Committee last year and now Co-Director of Ambassadors).

This year I am hoping to raise $500 for SWAB. This is enough money to cover the cost of 4 children being invited to Event Day. I'd love if you would consider partnering with me and donating to this cause! If you have any questions about SWAB, please feel free to reach out! Thanks in advance!
