TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Rogers State University announced that its Phi Delta Theta chapter on campus recently raised almost $2,000 to benefit a professor battling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Chapter President Matthew Garrison says the fraternity has a historical association with the LiveLikeLou Foundation, which is an institution committed to making an impact on ALS research and supporting the children and families affected by ALS.
Charitable and philanthropic events are part of the fraternity’s activities, however, this fundraiser idea came to Garrison while he was out of state at a conference.
“Last summer, some of my fraternity brothers and I went to a conference in Oxford, Ohio – where the fraternity was founded,” Garrison said. “While we were there, we got several good ideas for fundraisers, including one called ‘Pie a Phi’, which we decided would be a good way for us to raise money for our philanthropic event.”
