The Mac ‘n’ Cheese Smackdown is back!

Well, we thought about that (since we know how generous our U of T community is!) and have provided an ADD ON option in the app to donate additional funds to the United Way. You can add $2, $5 or $10 to your ticket cost to TOP UP your donation amount!

Why should I attend?
