Jail-N-Bail raises $10K for the Canadian Cancer Society

Student, faculty and staff jailbirds were behind bars in the BMO Atrium of Goodes Hall until bailed out by supporters, who contributed in person and online. On Jan. 16, in just one day, $10,000 was raised to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society at this annual event organized by the Commerce Society’s Outreach Commission. Jailbirds included Prof. Kate Rowbotham, Commerce Office stalwart Julie Carty and Prof. David McConomy, and numerous Commerce students nominated by their peers. There was an outpouring of support for Prof. McConomy — more than $2,000 was raised in his name.
