Auction ends today Saturday My 2nd!
The event BruINTENT asked students to sleep outside for a night so someone else doesn't have to. All proceeds go straight to Chrysalis, an organization dedicated to improving the skills of the homeless to reintroduce them to the work force.
Year-round, our weather here in southern California is temperate, attracting homeless from all around the world, making it the homeless capital of the nation. LA has more homeless than New York, San Francisco, and Chicago combined.
People don't realize that 40% of homeless are women and over 15,000 are youths ages 12-17.

Thank You for bidding to support such a great cause,
BruINTENT Directors

This is a great cause
One of my best experiences from attending UCLA was the opportunity to get involved in community service projects. It really reinforces the notion of how UCLA is part of the entire LA community.
This sounds like a great event. Good luck to you all.
Sweater Vest?
My wife has sewing connections with sample makers in the garmet district and other places. Anyone know if I’d get in trouble if I made some UCLA sweater vests? I’m sure a few people here would like to get their hands on one, but I don’t know what the trademark laws (or if trademark laws even apply to something like that) are.
