Indiana & Purdue Chapters Host Run the Ball Fundraiser to Combat Homelessness & Poverty
On November 29, the Zeta Chapter at Indiana University (IU) and Lambda Iota Chapter at Purdue University (PU) held their inaugural Run the Ball (RtB) fundraiser. RtB, a student-run initiative, was created to raise $50,000 for Wheeler Mission (WM) and $50,000 for Lafayette Urban Ministries (LUM) , as well as increase awareness for homelessness and poverty in the chapters’ local communities.
The event began with the charity run at 5:00 am, where brothers from each chapter ran the game football from Lafayette to Bloomington, Indiana in conjunction with the IU vs. PU Old Oaken Bucket Game. During the football game, Indiana and Purdue brothers present their final donations to WM and LUM, respectively, during a special presentation.
