hot-tub-a-thon
We've been doing tub-a-thon for a long time at the University of Utah, and it's been a great success. This last year, we got a hot tub donated, and we rented one as well. We got permission from the Student Union to set up on the Union Plaza (having brothers on the Union Board helps), and we set up in the most high-traffic area on campus. In the weeks/months leading up to the tub-a-thon, brothers collect donations from individuals and local businesses. Depending on the size of the donation, we'll put the logo of the business on our t-shirt, and display their banner at our house. We rotate brothers through the hot tub, at least 2 guys are in it at all times. We do this for either 12 or 24 hours, last year we did it for 12 hours. We get the local radio and TV stations to cover the event, and the student newspaper usually does a piece on it as well. We have guys collecting money from people as they go in and out of the Union, we sell hot dogs and t-shirts, too. Last year we raised money for Cystic Fibrosis, because one of our brothers has the disease. We raised about $3,500 during the entire week, I believe.
