Men’s basketball is playing at WSU at 4 p.m. that day and the Habitat for Humanity campus chapters will be collecting cans for each school as a part of Cans for a Cause.

The collecting will start in the parking lot outside the WSU gymnasium and there will be a truck for each school. Anyone bringing cans will choose which school they would like to support. Also, a person bringing cans will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win gift certificates from various places around Winona.

If there is a clear winner at half-time the results will be announced at the game. If it is too close to tell an e-mail will be sent out to the student body on Monday, after all the cans have been recycled, saying which school collected the most cans.

Abby Zimmer, co-leader of Cans for a Cause, said the goal of the event is to continue to get people to recycle their cans. “We want to keep this enthusiasm among the students alive...It’s really, really exciting that it’s been working so far.”

After the game all of the cans collected will be combined and recycled. The money will go to the Winona County Habitat for Humanity.
