Delta Upsilon Raises Money for Madonna House

Recently the Chapter of Delta Upsilon of Culver-Stockton College spent the night in cardboard boxes on the parking lot of Hy-Vee on Broadway to bring awareness to the homeless situation in the country. In doing so they also raised money which they decided to donate to the Madonna House of Quincy. The Brothers of The Culver-Stockton Chapter of Delta Upsilon, including Brett Colton (pictured), presented Joanne Dedert, the Executive Director of the Madonna House, a check totaling $1,949.10 from their "Homeless Rally" at Hy-Vee.
