Keyettes President Deepika Senthilnathan sat down with Advocate Sports Editor Maeve Rourke to discuss the club’s Skittles Guessing Contest.

Maeve Rourke: What is the Brady’s Smile Organization?

Deepika Senthilnathan: Brady’s Smile Organization is founded by two parents, who lost their child to cancer, and ever since, they have had this organization, as a Connecticut based organization. They collect donations such as, toys, books and blankets to give to children who are fighting against cancer in the hospitals.
MR: What are the Keyettes doing to support the Brady’s Smile Organization?

DS: We are holding a guessing contest, in which Law students are participating to guess how many skittles are in a jar. Each guess is a dollar, and the proceeds will let Keyettes purchase blankets, and children’s toys to donate to the organization.

MR: Why did the Keyettes decide to fundraise for this particular organization?

DS: Keyettes is all about helping the community. Keyettes have been giving back to this organization for about 5-6 years now.

MR: Why is it important to fundraise for organizations such as this?

DS: It is important to help fundraise for organizations like Brady’s Smile, because you know the donations are going to a good cause and to help children fight against cancer.

MR: What other plans does the Keyettes have to give back to the community during the holidays?

DS: Our next big event will be preparing for the Caring Closet.
