Mr. Wash. U. raises record amount for charity

Scott Bressler

Substantially exceeding its fundraising total from last year, the male pageant contest Mr. Wash. U. raised $30,000 for the charity City Faces. Senior Kris Kelley won the pageant and sophomore Iboro Umana placed second.

The event took place on Thursday, March 20 in Edison Theatre.

According to its Web site, the annual event evaluates sixteen contestants on the basis of personality, character, integrity, extracurricular involvement and contributions to the Washington University and St. Louis community.

A panel of five judges selects the winner of the competition.

City Faces is a program founded by architecture professor Bob Hansman that works within the St. Louis community to empower troubled youth through art.

Last year, the pageant raised $23,000 dollars for the same charity.
