Jogging for John 5k

This past summer, one of AOII's current sisters lost her father after a courageous fight with lung cancer. He was a vietnam veteran, an active alumni of Sigma Chi's Roanoke College chapter, an educator, role model, father, and friend. On Sunday, December 11th, we teamed up with Sigma Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha to conduct a 5k race in honor of this great man. All proceeds from the event were donated to Children's Health Services at Ocean Medical Center, the hospital where John received care.

The race was a huge success--we were able to raise over $1700 for the charity and had a great turnout from all members of the community! This event holds special importance to AOII and we are so grateful for the support of everyone who donated and participated! Special thanks to ∑X, πKA, and all of our amazing sponsors!
