2009-10 Events

May 1, 2009 - PennyFest
PennyBen enthusiasts came together for one final event, taking part in a trip down to the Hope Lodge in Grand Rapids, where a check for $12,000 was presented to the American Cancer Society. Students then walked back to the Aquinas campus and had a pig roast dinner, sang karaoke, and were entertained at Aquinas' Cook Carriage House. Participants were also invited to "camp out" at the Carriage House and spend the night on campus.

PennyBen proudly presents PennyBowl, held Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. at Lincoln Lanes in Grand Rapids. Bowlers will be in teams of 2, for $30 per team ($15/person).

The event is open to all the public, and sign up has started in the Campus Life office at Aquinas College.
