University Union is holding a T-shirt fundraiser to support two coronavirus relief funds.
The proceeds will be split equally between the MusiCares Coronavirus Relief Fund and the Central New York COVID-19 Community Support Fund, which support music professionals and members of the local community, respectively.
UU canceled all in-person events, including Mayfest and Block Party, for the remainder of the spring 2020 semester. UU has since hosted a variety of virtual events, including concerts with King Princess and Kaytranada.
Students typically receive a free T-shirt with their Block Party ticket, but can purchase commemorative T-shirts due to the event’s cancellation, UU wrote in a press release.
The T-shirts will be sold through the Syracuse University Bookstore from May 13 to May 27. The shirts cost $8 each, with UU covering the shipping fees. Customers should expect shipping delays because COVID-19 may impact manufacturing timelines, according to the release.
