Lulu Rucinski, a freshman defense player for the Black Bear hockey team, has already turned heads with her tenacity on the ice and her eagerness to settle into life in Orono, Maine.
A Freshman's Fundraiser
Partnering with Ronald McDonald House Maine, she has launched a line of ‘I Heart Orono’ t‑shirts that celebrate the town she now calls home.
Having volunteered at the house, Rucinski has witnessed the growing demand for food and supplies, prompting her to turn the shirts into a direct fundraising channel.
All proceeds from each sale are earmarked for the charity, helping to fund the meals, shelter and essential supplies that keep families supported while a loved one receives medical care.
The apparel is available for purchase at PliableMarketing.com/store, where buyers can choose from a range of sizes and colors, ensuring that every transaction translates into concrete support for the cause.
