On Saturday at 1 p.m. Pi Beta Phi will hold their softball philanthropy, Angels in the Outfield, in Dunn Meadow.
Angels in the Outfield is a new philanthropy coming to campus! All proceeds raised at the event will go towards Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that hits home to many Pi Phis, as family members and a current member of the chapter are affected by this illness. Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that causes mucus to build up in various parts of the body. This is one of the most common lung diseases found in young adults.Â
Although Cystic Fibrosis has not gained as much attention as ALS over recent months, Pi Phi wanted to raise awareness of an illness that strikes college-age students. Angels in the Outfield is a five-inning softball game comprised of fraternity teams. Any fraternity or sorority can sign up for the tournament this week leading up to the event. Food, music and other fun activities will also take place throughout the day. Guests will have the opportunity to 'Pie a Pi Phi' for a small additional fee.
"I'm happy that we added this new philanthropy in addition to Pi Burger Phi and am looking forward to seeing everyone at Dunn Meadow for a fun filled day!" said Noy Hadass, Pi Phi junior.
