Donations to "CU Stands With Haiti," a student campaign to raise money for victims of the earthquake were accepted at the Feb. 6 CU vs. Missouri men's basketball game at the Coors Events/Conference Center. "CU Stands With Haiti" is aimed at coordinating and unifying the CU community in an effort to raise at least $100,000 in relief for Haiti.
