Medical Students Raise $900 for Typhoon Disaster Relief
The College of Medicine's Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) raised $908 for Typhoon Haiyan disaster relief from its bake sale Nov. 18-21.
All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross Philippine chapter.
Typhoon Haiyan produced record-strength winds and storm surges when it hit the Philippine islands earlier in November.
According to the American Red Cross, approximately 10 million people across 40 provinces in the Philippines have been affected by the typhoon. As many as 600,000 have been displaced and the death toll continues to rise.
