The second Golf and Give Innovation Challenge at Saint Louis University is scheduled for February 25-26. This event, organized by the School of Science and Engineering in collaboration with the Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship, aims to support the Billiken Bounty food pantry while engaging the SLU community in a unique activity.

Participants will gather at the Wool Ballrooms in Busch Student Center to enjoy two days of miniature golf. Teams composed of students are tasked with building mini golf courses using non-perishable food items. Each team selects $200 worth of pantry items to construct their hole, representing their student organization creatively.

"Complete the registration form below," reads an invitation for participants who are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation for Billiken Bounty when checking in. The necessary equipment, including putters and golf balls, will be provided.

Billiken Bounty is situated in the Center for Global Citizenship and offers a selection of grocery items and healthy foods to address food insecurity among SLU students. It operates through a referral system.

For any inquiries about the event, interested parties can contact sseug@slu.edu.
