Update: April 24; This event is cancelled due to today's inclement weather.
The Sigma Kappa Sorority invites students, faculty and community members to participate in a tug-of-war contest Tuesday, April 24. Proceeds from this event will be donated to The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which assists the U.S. Marine Corps in teaching less fortunate children about responsibility, patriotism and productivity.
Sign-ups will take place in McEwen Hall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 17-18. The event will be held on the grass located outside of the Williams Center, across from the Dods Hall parking lot at 5:30 p.m.
Each year from its Jamestown, N.Y. offices, this organization raises funds to supply children with one toy through local Toys for Tots campaigns.
Sigma Kappa usually holds this annual event in November, but due to unfortunate weather conditions in 2011, the group chose to postpone last year’s event. The sorority was able to raise $300 in 2010 and is hoping to break that record this year. The mission of the sorority is to provide women with opportunities to impact communities in a positive way.
Students wishing to take part in the contest can sign up in teams of five and compete for a certificate to a local restaurant. The cost to enter is $10 per team. There will be male and female brackets.
