Freshman pre-med Student, Josef Iqbal, wants to make a difference.
“With the coronavirus (COVID-19) currently affecting nearly every country throughout the world and a confirmed case count well into the millions, it has proven itself to be one of the biggest challenges this generation has had to face,” said Iqbal.
Western New York has been no exception to these troubling times, and in an effort to help the countless people struggling in our local community during this pandemic, he has decided to launch a COVID-19 shirt fundraiser.
By purchasing a #WNYSTRONG shirt, you can showcase your strength and resilience during these hard times while also helping provide for those in need throughout our community.
If you have any questions, feel free to Email Iqbal at iqbalj@canisius.edu.
