Sacred Heart chose the greater Bridgeport area to donate the money.
"If not, the, one of the poorest areas in Connecticut'" said Fazzino. "Fairfield's the richest; it's disturbing to see the difference."
According to Vide President of Sacred Heart ONE campaign, Amanda Francini, Sacred Heart has the ability to rise up as one, work towards abolishing poverty, and make an impact right in our own community.
"SHU is making such an impact already that I have no doubt that our spark will spread and motivate others to take a stand as well," said Francini.
This is something that has grown significantly.
"If you can put your mind to it, you can do it," said Sacred Heart ONE Advisor, Sean Heffron. "We're showing what can be done."
Fazzino heard about this campaign and asked others to help him.
"I was confident it was well received," said Fazzino. "I was impressed how the Sacred Heart student body stepped up to the issue."
Fazzino went to a forum in Washington D.C. called the Power 100 Summit. The top one-hundred campus leaders were invited to this conference for three days and heard from a variety of people discussing the significant importance of fighting poverty and AIDS all over the world.
"Big schools have up to ten members when Sacred Heart has over one-hundred," said Fazzino.
The student body has come together to contribute to this global issue.
"The more people who are aware will help make this grow," said sophomore Lisa Moffett. "It hits close to home, so it's a great cause to focus on."
