Every year we have "Run for Kids Sake" which is a 24 hour relay to raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Vigo County. We run all over town with a van behind us, and usually log about 175 miles in the 24 hour period. I'm not sure how much money we raised, but it was quite a bit.
We also participate in our National Philanthropy, our National Food Drive. We try to set a higher goal each year, and I know for the past few years, we've reached it. Other chapters put us to shame though. I know several of them get over 50 thousand pounds of food! We usually get about 1500-2000 pounds.
At Christmas, we have a party for underprivelaged kids from a local youth hall, give them gifts, play games with them, have snacks. It's a good time.
Weekly, brothers volunteer for Meals on Wheels, and I believe we've been doing this for ten years or more.
