The Employee Assembly seeks donations for its online auction in November to benefit the Cornellians Aiding and Responding to Employees (CARE) Fund. Donations can include a service, craft, gift basket, gift certificate, sports tickets or other items. Donations are due Oct. 31, and the auction will run Nov. 1-15.

Cash donations to the auction or fund will also be accepted.

The CARE fund assists Cornell employees experiencing a sudden financial hardship due to unforeseen or unavoidable event, and is funded entirely by Cornell community donations. Hardships that have been eased because of the fund include help in travel expenses for specialized hospital stays; help for those who have lost their homes from fire or flood; and help in paying funeral expenses after the sudden loss of a family member.
