A Notre Dame graduate today launched his fifth annual Christmas fundraiser for Center for the Homeless in South Bend.
Chris Wilson ’08 started the Rakes of Mallow Christmas Giving in 2016 to allow dispirited Irish fans to use their cash reserves for karmic cleansing.
It seems to have worked. Wilson has raised $26,369, while the football team has gone 43-6 since.
If you’re unfamiliar with the work of the Center for the Homeless, Executive Director Steve Camilleri provided this explainer to Wilson:
The Center’s mission is to help break the cycle of homelessness, and it’s been such a gift to see people transform their lives and get back on their feet.
