About 1,500 students and community members gathered at Kendall Campus’ Fred Shaw Plaza on Oct. 15 to participate in the All-Nighter for Haiti, a 12-hour fundraiser directed toward sustainable food programs in rural areas in Haiti. More than $11,000 was raised for the cause that night; $13,000 more has been raised since then, according to Stuart Williams, a professor at Kendall Campus, who moderated the event. Last year, the event raised $23,000. The funds went toward a four-pond tilapia farm in the Artibonite region of Haiti.
