四川汶川5.12大地震發生後，聖路易斯華盛頓大學(華大）中國學生學者聯誼會（CSSA）立即發起組織了多起宣傳抗震救災的活動號召募捐，得到了華大各界的支持和積極響應。大家紛紛援助災區解囊相助。華大CSSA在震後立即向華大全體中國學生和學者通報了這個沉痛的消息，並號召大家貢獻自己的力量，為災區捐款，同中國人民一道共渡難關。CSSA同時積極爭取到了校方的支持，5月19日華大官方媒體Record在首頁報導了汶川大地震以及華大CSSA積極呼籲華大各界支持的事跡。之後有華大學生個人向紅十字會捐款多達5000美金。5月23日，CSSA又在人流密集的華大商學院設立募捐箱，方便各界人士捐助，當日募得捐款計1200餘美元。這筆款項即刻通過中國駐芝加哥大使館交付災區，用于救援重建工作。
