Alpha Omicron Pi Runs For Arthritis
The Alpha Omicron Pi sorority at the
University of Mississippi had their major philanthropy event on Saturday, April
21st 2012 on the Ole Miss campus. This was AOII’s first annual Hotty
Toddy Run For The Roses event here on campus. It consisted of a 5K run, 5K
walk and mile run all throughout the Ole Miss campus and partly off campus.
This fundraiser aided Athritis that is AOII’s national philanthropy, as well as
the Candy Carlisle Derivaux Memorial Scholarship. Candy was an Ole Miss AOII
alum and has just recently died. The money raised from this race will benefit
her memorial that will create a scholarship for Ole Miss AOIIs. It cost $25 for
each runner to register through raceit.com a major race organizer in the
Mississippi area. Raceit organized the route for the race, measured out the
precise length of the race and even drew in some non-AOII racers. For anymore
information on how to participate next year please call Avery Pierron, Nu Beta
Chapter Alpha Omicron Pi President at aepierro@olemiss.edu or contact Raceit.com.
