WATERLOO, Ont. -- Students living at the University of Waterloo village residences will hold a fund-raising event Wednesday (Sept. 28) in support of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Called the Residence Hurricane Katrina Fundraiser: Mardi Gras Style, the event will take place throughout the residences. All proceeds will go to the Save the Children Hurricane Katrina Fund (www.savethechildren.org).
