LAMPOON is an annual medical school event that raises money for a local Detroit area charity organized by Aesculapians. Medical students from all four classes and faculty write, act and produce their own skits to parody life at Wayne State and in medical school. Through past events we have raised money for charitable organizations such as the National Marrow Donor Program, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and Motor City Blight Busters. It is also a time in which we elect new Aesculapians members and honor outstanding teachers and faculty with the presentation of the annual Lamp and Staff Awards.

The charity for LAMPOON 2010 is the non-profit organization Summer in the City. During the summer, college volunteers lead high school student volunteers in working on various projects throughout Detroit, such as working with elementary school students, planting gardens, painting murals, building parks, and demolishing blighted houses. These projects are a means for youth to be involved in their community in a fun and constructive manner. Since 2002, 2750 volunteers have contributed over 55000 hours of service. Summer in the City is funded by grants and corporate sponsorships but mainly through individual and family donations. It is greatly in need of funding for its 2010 season and we hope you will consider making a donation through our organization.
