Check out some photographs from our 2010 Hunger Benefit, which took place on November 12th. We raised over $3,000 for
Casa De Peregrinos, Las Cruces' food bank. This was the first year for the chili-cook off competition between graduate students and faculty; graduate students took home the cumulative prize, while MFA faculty member Richard Greenfield won the overall competition with his "Tequila Chipotle Chicken Chili."
Charles Bowden was our featured reader this year. He read from his recent book about Cuidad Juarez,
Murder City, as well as from his other work pertaining to the US-Mexico border. The benefit also featured live music, a mini-carnival, and a silent auction. Thanks to everyone who helped with the Hunger Benefit this year, including creative writing students, faculty members, volunteers and attendees.
