NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) A setback for Rutgers University students trying to raise money for children battling cancer.
Authorities say thieves walked away with eight thousand dollars from a university office, much of it in coins.
The burglars carted away a safe containing four thousand, and at least six water jugs containing coins.
The dean of fraternity and sorority affairs for the school says the Rutgers students are “just devastated by this.”
The money was meant for the Institute for Children with Cancer and Blood Disorders, affiliated with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Last year the fund-raising event that runs from September to late March raised 190-thousand dollars for the institute.
