The Associated Students of Washington State University (ASWSUHS) is a student organization representing the interests of all WSU Spokane Health Sciences Students. The colleges on our campus include medicine, pharmacy, speech and hearing sciences, nutrition and exercise physiology, and nursing. 
ASWSUHS ensures that students' needs are heard both on and off campus. Recent budget deficits have led us to ask the cougar community for help in ensuring that we can still have events for students that promote education, inclusivity, and networking. 
Some of the events that we would like to highlight include the AWSUHS spring health fair. This is typically held in a community center and brings all colleges together to provide health outreach in the community. We provide services like vaccinations, health education, blood pressure readings, STI screenings, diet and exercise plans, mobility and agility testing, radon testing kits, fentanyl testing strips, and hearing loss tests. All of these are free services (assuming vaccinations are covered with insurance) and ensure that WSU Spokane is represented professionally. It brings awareness to our community that we are a trusted resource that is here for them. 
Another goal we have is to overcome the burden of professional clothing costs. Oftentimes students struggle to afford business professional items and we would like to ensure that is not a challenge for individuals anymore. We hope to start a clothing closet which would require items such as clothing racks and hangers to get this started and hope to offer donated clothing from WSU personnel and community members. 
Lastly, it is essential that student voices are heard in Olympia which is why ASWSUHS goes to the capital every year to voice the needs of students on our campus. With funding at risk it is more important now than ever to help politicians relate to students and the struggles that we face. The funding for this annual trip was not allocated to us this year and we hope to raise money so we can represent WSU Spokane at the highest state level for lobbying efforts. 
While these are just a few of the events that we would like to raise money for, any excess funds we would like to host for student engagement events such as the earth day plant and seed swap which gives students free plants for Earth day and promotes emotional well being and strengthens our community.
With sincere gratitude AWSUHS thanks you for your consideration in donating to support our students
