[Update: July 11, 2012]
The 2012 Freeman/Chase 5K was a huge success- overall, Theta Chi raised over $1,000 for the new Al Bulliner Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will benefit Theta Chi brothers who are serving as Graduate Advisers. Thanks to everyone who participated!
The Freeman/Chase 5K Run/Walk is back!
A time-honored tradition, this year's 5K promises to challenge, inspire and energize. And, you'll get to help a good cause in the process.
The Freeman-Chase 5K run/walk will be held during the National Convention, on Friday, July 6, at 7 a.m. Unlike in previous years, this year's 5K has a philanthropy component- donation stations will be set up at the Marketplace and brothers will be encouraged to contribute whatever they can. On Friday, the largest team to complete the run/walk will choose where to donate the proceeds.
Yes, 7 a.m. does seem early, but how often do you get to participate in a philanthropy event with undergraduates and alumni representing every single chapter and colony in Theta Chi? Get up and exercise with your brothers and help a charity in need.
Suggestions on creating the winning team:
- Have a good team name
- Seek out brothers attending from your region
- Seek out alumni attending convention
- Talk with guys you are rooming with
- Get convention faculty members to join your team
