Patrick McCrum, a junior in the College of Engineering and president of the club, said that he is very passionate about doing this community service event and was proud to carry on the tradition this year. $10,000 was donated last year, an amount the team is striving to surpass on Saturday in their match-up against Robert Morris University in Kankakee, Ill.
