No Kid Hungry holds contests for students to choose pie's target
Student Body Vice President Chase Mizzell took a pie to the face Wednesday.
But the lemon merengue-flavored attack, delivered by Cocky, was nothing political — Mizzell was raising money for National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
Student United Way and No Kid Hungry had held a donation contest to determine which of the four candidates — Mizzell; Kenny Tracy, student body president; Claire Kimpton, president of No Kid Hungry; and Patrick Hickey, Capstone faculty principal — would be “pied,” and Mizzell won.
Students and faculty had the chance to either buy a pie or donate money to the two organizations.
First-year exercise science student, Megan LaTorre was excited about the awareness that the event would bring.
“We’ve collected about thirty dollars,” she said. “No one has really bought any pie but we are still getting awareness out there.”
For his part, Mizzell was glad to do it. He only had one complaint:
“I got some whipped cream up my nose.”
