Cautiously dipping a toe in here...

Most of the time I honestly have to relay on the collegians.

But I do generally think you are right. I'm sure more than not spend their times not doing philanthropy events.

In the case of my AC, our Grape Escape Fundraiser/Silent Auction is pretty much the only big fundraising event we have annually.

A lot of our alums are pretty stretched out and committed to various other community philanthropies (Junior League, Salvation Army Womens' Auxiliary, etc.) but are still called on when the collegians need help staffing various events.
