Journalism students stuff their faces at a fundraiser to benefit the Journalism Awards Night.

On Thursday, Sept. 25, the JAN Club held their first event, a pie eating contest. Taylor Busch, head of the JAN Club, along with Kenneth Bullock planned the event with the help of the rest of the club. Students from the Mediaplex lined up to take place in the competition. To enter the contest, contestants collected donations $15 and up towards the club. The pies were provided by Nana’s Bakery on Dominion Blvd.

In the first year contest, Eugenio Mendoza finished his pie first, winning the contest. Journalism student Jon Martin won the second year competition by a landslide. Prizes were donated by local restaurants The Dugout, Toasty’s Grilled Cheese & Salad Bar and Bubble Tea Express.

The club made $400 in profit from the contest, barbecue and bake sale.
