The Criminal Justice club hosted a Cram-a-Cruiser For Kids charity on Dec. 7 in front of the University Center. Toys donated to the Criminal Justice club were placed in the a police vehicle next to the Recreation Center. They will be given to the Whaley Children's Center. According to Whaley's website, it is a nonprofit organization that cares for children who have "suffered chronic and profound abuse and neglect".
This is the 2nd Annual Cram-a-Cruiser event the club has hosted. Last year, the toys were given to children of Motherly Intercession. Founded in 1999, Intercession is a non-profit organization that cares for children whose parents are incarcerated.
"This year we wanted to kind of a bigger organization, and someone shouted out 'Whaley Center'! " Club President Kevin Humphreys said.
People could also give monetary donations, which made up the majority of donations given. The club gave anyone who participated either hot chocolate or a soft drink. Participants also entered a raffle for a Kindle Fire.
