Phi Sigma Kappa of Hobart & William Smith Colleges Hosts 5k Turkey Trot for Happiness House/Finger Lakes Cerebral Palsy Association Which Raises $1,175
The Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity at Hobart & William Smith Colleges held a 5k Turkey Trot for Happiness House/Finger Lakes Cerebral Palsy Association. Seventy five students from Hobart & William Smith Colleges participated in the 5k run. Phi Sigma Kappa members helped in other ways including: disseminating Happiness House brochures in the Scandling Student Center and mailing letters to local businesses and family friends for sponsorships. Andrew Fosbrook, Julien LoPresti, Cordell Critchell, Mike Armstrong, and James McMahon were instrumental in the planning and coordination of the run. Andrew states, "Phi Sigma Kappa and the Colleges are committed to the local community. We are very impressed by the benevolent role that Happiness House plays in our area and the programs which it provides. This event was a resounding success and it is our intention to continue forward with this type of dedication to our community in the future."
The $1,175 raised from this event will be utilized to maintain the highest quality programs and services that enhance the lives of the children, adults and families we serve.
