Once again this year, Phi Gamma Delta will be participating in Freeze the Puck on Cancer at the University of Michigan. Freeze the Puck on Cancer was created in 2015 in a joint partnership between Collegiate Charities and Fraternities at the University of
Michigan. It is modeled after the very successful Drop the Puck on Cancer at Indiana University, which benefits various Cancer Research Charities. The event is a competitive philanthropic hockey game hosted by Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI), Phi Kappa Psi, Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE), and Sigma Phi Epsilon. The fraternities will be joining together to raise funds and awareness while competing for bragging
rights on the ice this coming January 21, 2017. Additionally, the sororities of Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, and Delta Delta Delta will be competing in broomball after the first hockey game. Tickets will be available to purchase online within the next couple weeks. Proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society and will be aimed to increase lifesaving cancer research, provide 24/7 cancer patient support, and to fund medical programs for early cancer detection and prevention. In 2015 alone, the American
Cancer Society was able to raise over $800 million to help the fight against cancer. Their efforts have directly helped cancer death rates drop 22% since the 1990s. With our help, the American Cancer society can continue to fund research and improve the
lives of cancer patients across the country.
Opportunities for contributions include merchandise, ticket sales, sponsorships, and individual donations. With the help of your generous support our collective goal is to raise $20,000 for this great cause. Please join us in the fight against cancer by donating at the link below. Any donation helps!
