SUNY New Paltz students, faculty and staff  hosted "Decorate to Donate" that spotlighted amazing gingerbread houses to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. They were able to raise quite a big donation.

WRRV reports that over 500 houses were on display in the Student Union Atrium. Campus community members then bought gingerbread houses to raise money for St. Jude.

Funds raised from the sale of those houses will be added to the current donation total of over $11,000.
