The University of the Incarnate Word and Our Lady of the Lake University have combined forces to establish South Texas Colleges that Care: Tsunami Relief Effort.

The program will raise funds to aid the victims of last month’s tragic tsunami through the Catholic Relief Services Organization (CRS). The aid CRS provides is widespread with no restrictions based on race, creed or religion.  For more information on the organization visit:  www.catholicrelief.org.

Students, faculty and staff of both institutions will raise money for the effort through Feb. 25. All contributions will directly benefit the victims upon presentation to CRS.

Gifts can be made directly to any Bank of America location (there are 25 in the San Antonio area) through a teller at a branch or by wire. The Bank of America account information is:
