Do your part to end genocide in Darfur by attending the Darfur Fundraiser at Liberty Hall on Saturday at 6 p.m. Pay $5 admission with your KU ID gets you food from downtown restaurant Ingredient and entertainment from radio personality Scott McCann, D.J. Furst Bass and four local bands. At 7:30 p.m. a documentary will be shown, followed by a speech from a Darfur refugee who escaped from a slave camp. Fundraising events include a silent auction and a date auction featuring Kansas defensive tackle James McClinton and other athletes. Come early and stay late: The bands will be rocking until the early hours of the morning. Event organizer Max Stettner, Overland Park senior, says the benefit is more about raising awareness than money, though all admission and auction money will go to sending nurses and teachers to Darfur.
