Fund-raising not only provides the North Dakota State University Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society its largest source of income, it also spreads awareness of chemistry throughout the Fargo area. Activities include selling goggles, selling previous years exams for study material, working concessions at various events at the Fargo Dome (an events stadium near the NDSU campus), and helping to rebuild a community park in the nearby area of East Grand Forks, Minnesota. These exciting activities allow chapter members to attend and participate in ACS national meetings, as well as host chapter social events, demonstrations, and community outreach projects such as Science Fun Night (where different NDSU Student Organizations collaborate to provide a local elementary school with fun and interesting ways to discover the wonders of science). Fund-raising provides chapter members the means to advance chapter activities, an enriching way to interact with their peers and community while still focusing on science.
