FIND a date, or just buy one.

UMD College Park is playing host at the end of the month to the Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue, otherwise known as FIND, otherwise known as Filipinos In Need of Dates. That last moniker seems well deserved since the traditional fundraising event for FIND is a date auction. See the FB event

I've sent an email to one of the organizers asking for details on what goes on at this event. Do you know? From the description, it seems like both men and women could be auctioned.

Ironically, one of the workshop topics is "Empowerment of the Female Identity" and they are asking Filipinas for Rights and Empowerment (http://firenyc.org/) for a speaker.
