Kappa Delta, Phi Mu and Kappa Alpha Theta collaborated on Friday to put on the event Bake for Boston, during which baked goods were sold to raise funds for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Students sold a variety of baked goods for $1 in Speakers Circle, including brownies and chocolate covered strawberries.

The students put together the event in three days after learning about the bombing, which occurred Monday, April 15. The event raised more than $700, and the proceeds will be donated to Massachusetts General Hospital, which is treating most of the victims who were critically injured, organizer Ally Troiano said.

Troiano, one of the Kappa Delta organizers of the event and a native of Boston, said she was moved to action after the attacks.

“We literally baked from 1:30 in the afternoon to 1:30 in the morning,” Troiano said. “I was hurt. I cried when I heard about the attack. You just never hear about stuff like this happening in Boston. It happened in places I have been in Boston — MIT, Watertown — and I just can’t believe this is happening.”

Students were more than happy to donate money and help raise funds to help the victims involved with the bombing, Troiano said.

Senior Logan Jennings bought a cupcake and said he was happy to contribute.

“I think this event is great,” he said. “I’m really just doing it for Boston. I don’t really care about the food. I just want to help the people of Boston.”

Freshman Erin McDowell said she thought the event was helpful and was glad to see Mizzou’s students helping out with a great cause.

“I like that we’re getting involved so quickly, and I would love to see something like this for the victims of the explosion in Texas,” she said.

Cassidy Bopp, Phi Mu member and one of the organizers of the event, said her roommate first suggested the idea of the bake sale.

“My sisterhood is so strong, so I am so proud to say that I made an announcement to girls in my house saying we needed help with volunteering to run the stand and with baking, and they really stepped up,” Bopp said in an email. “I had girls messaging me and calling me asking what they could do to help. I stayed up with a few Phi Mus until midnight the night prior and then woke up early the next morning to make sure all of the baking we could do was done.”

Bopp said each of the sororities pitched in money to purchase the supplies, and each of the houses contributed in baking the goods. Sigma Kappa also helped sell the baked goods.

“We didn’t even think twice about it; we just started acting upon it,” Bopp said in an email. “It was such a rewarding experience especially after seeing how much it meant to the people of Boston.”
