K.I.C.K.S. 2003 Report
2003
This year K.I.C.K.S. was co-hosted by Alpha Xi Delta sorority. We went all
out this year and built new soccer goals out of PVC piping and real netting.
We had T-Shirts custom made with multiple colors; so all teams had different
colors. After posting flyers and handing out of registration forms, we ended
up with 21 teams in three divisions (independent, sorority and fraternity).
The day of the event went off without a hitch. We had a DJ playing music and
Canyon Pizza donated 50 pizzas, which help fill the time between games and
made they day seem less ordinary.
Midway through the day, two Make-A-Wish families came by and enjoyed our "Make-A-Wish
hour", where many brothers and participates played with the two kids.
This was actually the first time that one of the kids has played since he began
his treatment. He used to be on a traveling team.
At the end of the day, we raised $3,864. Almost double, what
we raised last year. Because we raised enough to grant a child's wish and then
some, we were invited to report our donation on the radio when the Make-A-Wish
foundation comes to State College.
This year's event was absolutely amazing and we are very excited for next year.
