‘Pie-A-Senior’ is Oct. 15

Business students host fundraiser for Operation Smile

MARY O'DONNELL '11

The fall 2009 Business Management Lab is hosting a Pie-A-Senior event from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15 in the main dining hall of Prothro. This event is being held to raise money for Operation Smile, an organization that fixes children’s cleft palates in Third World countries.

Pie-A-Senior is an event where students and faculty are able to bid money to pie a senior in the face. In order to figure out who the seniors are going to be, students and faculty are asked to nominate a senior.

As nominations are received, e-mails are sent to the seniors who are nominated asking whether or not they are willing to be pied. Then, a list of seniors who have agreed to be pied is compiled and there will be a silent auction during breakfast, lunch and dinner from Oct. 9 through 13. Anyone is allowed to place a bid on the seniors, starting at $5.

A list will be made of the highest bidders from the silent auction, but being the highest bidder does not guarantee you will be the one to pie the senior. On Oct. 15, during the event, the audience will be given the chance to outbid the highest bid placed from the silent auction for the right to pie a senior.
