The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity is hosting a mud volleyball tournament this weekend to raise money for the Kids Alive Ministry.
The fraternity hosted the same event last year, and they were able to raise $3,000 for the ministry.
Michael Eberhard, president of Pi Kappa Alpha, said the money raised last year funded the building of a soccer field for the kids in the Dominican Republic. This year, their goal is to raise at least $8,000 for kids in Peru.
“We have a philanthropic event every semester, and usually we like to keep our donations within the local community,” Eberhard said. “But we decided the kids in non-developed countries could use it just as much, if not more.”
So far, the fraternity has gathered 17 teams to participate in the mud volleyball event, but Eberhard said they will be accepting more sign-ups up until the day of the event. The cost for a team to sign up is $150, and if a team within the same organization would like to participate, the cost is $50 per additional team. All of the proceeds from the entry costs are going to the Kids Alive Ministry.
