Win a parking spot for $5

Students can donate to charity this Wednesday and Thursday and maybe snag a parking spot worth $700 while they’re at it.

Thanks to the American Chemical Society Student Chapter’s benefit raffle, one student will win the use of a space in B Lot for the spring semester.

All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Central New Mexico, which the group chose because it helps young people succeed, said Alice Martinic, UNM ACSSC pesident.

“The mission of BBBS is to mentor youth to create a better tomorrow,” she said. “We are honored to join with them in this mission by donating to their cause.”

ACS member Sergei Von Hoyningen-Huene said the ACS teaches chemistry to students in local elementary schools and hopes to teach children involved in BBBS as well.

“We teach elementary kids the magic of chemistry to get them motivated and passionate about science,” he said. “With Big Brothers, Big Sisters, we have an opportunity to offer that to people from an adverse environment.”

ACS will hand out other raffle prizes, such as gift cards from the Albuquerque Massage Therapy School, Von Hoyningen-Huene said.

He said ACS members raised money to purchase the parking spot by selling chemistry lab notebooks and model kits.

$5 per ticket, $20 for five tickets.
