Running from Tuesday, October 15th to Friday, October 18th, Pi Kappa Alpha is ecstatic to host their annual Fireman’s Challenge Philanthropy Week, a multi-day event aimed at raising funds for the First Responders Children’s Foundation, which assists those who have lost relatives and loved ones in the line of duty.

Events for this week include:

• Pie a Pike: If you guessed you get to throw a pie in one of our 115 members faces for $2, you would be correct

  • Tuesday, October 15th, 10am - 2pm, Outside Curtis Laws Wilson Library

• Pikes Pups: Take a few minutes to sit down with some puppies from the Waynesville Animal Shelter

  • Wednesday, October 16th, 10am - 2pm, Havener Center Lawn

• Fireman’s Challenge: The brand-new main event is a multi-stage obstacle relay race consisting of a fire truck pull, water bucket carry, and more. Winners receive Top Golf Gift Cards, Starbucks Baskets, and the acclaimed Fire Hydrant Trophy. Sign Up here (must have @umsystem.edu email)

  • Thursday, October 17th, 2pm - 6pm, Pike House (613 W 9th St, Rolla, MO)

• Fireman’s Car Wash: Line up for the most exhilarating car wash you have ever been to. Thanks to our local partners at 7Brew Drive Thru Coffee, we are offering Free Drink Tickets to the first 200 cars that come through!

  • Friday, October 18th, 3pm - 7pm, Pike House (613 W 9th St, Rolla, MO)

This year, we set our bar higher than ever with a goal of $10,000 raised during this philanthropy week. Though ambitious, we see the potential within our community to come together and help benefit an amazing cause, one dollar at a time.

Thank you to our sponsors who have graciously donated to our cause:

• 7Brew in Rolla, MO

• Taco Bell in Rolla, MO

• Johns Firestone Tire and Auto Service Center

• Starbucks in Rolla, MO
