91AV College of Pharmacy students raise $1,800 for Make-A-Wish Foundation

91AV students of the College of Pharmacy Class of 2013 held the first annual “halfway” charity gala on March 5 at the Italian Heritage Center where they raised $1,800 through an auction and raffle for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine.  The gala is named for the inaugural 91AV class that is half way to earning their Doctor of Pharmacy degrees in preparation for careers as pharmacists and/or pharmaceutical scientists.
