2011 Nov 16

Marty Welsh, of Shawnee Mission, Kan., served as the co-chair on the organizing committee of Charity Week, a week long annual tradition at the University of Dallas that has benefited a variety of national, regional and local charities. This year's event raised nearly $20,000 for two Dallas organizations: White Rose Women's Center and Catholic Charities of Dallas Elderly and Family Services.

Charity Week is sponsored by the University's Student Activities and Leadership Center and coordinated by the junior class. The schedule included a family day carnival, as well as an airband competition, bake off, silent auction and many other events.

The White Rose Women's Center, a Dallas-based non-profit organization, assists women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, and Catholic Charities of Dallas Elderly and Family Services provides nutrition, social services and recreational activities to Dallas residents over 60 years old.
