Awesome Fundraising Opportunity
Yankee Candles: Perfect for the Holidays
Every home needs a candle for the holidays. But before you make your seasonal candle purchases at a store, buy them from us instead! By buying Yankee Candles through one of our Seller pages, Phi Sigma Pi earns 40% of the profit! These extra funds would be incredibly helpful to provide brothers with scholarships as well as increase the ability for us to hold a variety of different events. Follow the link below to check out the merchandise:
Philanthropy Events
Fall Fest
Our first Fall Philanthropy event was a huge success! PSP and Dance Marathon had a blast interacting with the UVa and surrounding community at Fall Fest! Families were able to take fall pictures, paint pumpkins, and dunk some of our brave brothers in the dunk tank! Overall we raised over $800 to donate directly to the UVA Children's Hospital, and we have even higher hopes for next fall!
Looking good, Mr. President
Current President, Blair Wriston, gets dunked in freezing cold water by eager costumed children.
Thx Beta
An early, crisp morning is the perfect time to paint Beta Bridge and get the community pumped for our event!
Face Painting
An adorable Minnie Mouse gets her face painted! Face painting was just one of the many activities people could participate in during Fall Fest.
4 Miler 4 the Kids
Hello Alumni!
The time has come that we begin to spread the word about the 5K! Firstly, the 5K is now a 4 Miler 4 the Kids and will continue to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. We are reaching out to you all to ask for your help! If you could assist in the fundraising efforts monetarily we would appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
Anna & Rachel
