Spring time here in Athens welcomes warm weather, day parties, and a whole lot of philanthropy. Every year, the Greek organizations at UGA raise thousands of dollars through the different philanthropic events the chapters put on. Many of the sororities and fraternities host one of these events in the fall and a second one in the spring.
What: The 2016 ADPi Diamond Cup Soccer Tournament
When: Sunday, April 3rd, 2016 from 3 P.M. - 7 P.M.
Where: Clark Central High School
Why: To benefit the Ronald McDonald House
How: By buying a ticket for $7
This upcoming Sunday, April 3rd 2016, Alpha Delta Pi is debuting their new spring philanthropy event, The Diamond Cup. The Diamond Cup is an all day event from 3pm-7pm that includes a soccer tournament between the different fraternities of UGA, food, entertainment, and fun!
With that, here are five reasons you should be in attendance:
1. Pizza
With the purchase of your ticket you get pizza, and not just any kind of pizza. Mellow Mushroom will be catering the event. Yum!
2. Lil’ Ice Cream Dude
The adorable ice cream man in training will be paying a visit to the event as well. Also with your ticket you get a treat from his truck, maybe if you’re lucky, he’ll even take a picture with you!
3. Soccer
It’s not very often that you get to see a soccer match on a high school field anymore, so embrace it. Relive the glory (or not so glorious) days of high school by being at this fun event!
4. The UGA Women’s Soccer Team
The ladies of UGA Soccer will be at the event taking on the role of the referees of the games. Thus proving that there will be at least one group of people present that actually know how to play soccer. (Just kidding, guys!)
5. Pie-A-Pi (or a dawg!)
Some other special guests include a few of our favorite UGA Football Bulldawgs who will be available to be pied in the face for just $1!
6. Philanthropy!
By attending this event you not only get to have a fun time, but you’re also giving back in that all proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House!
The deadline to sign up a team has been extended to Wednesday, March 30th, if you’d like to sign up a team send your team members’ names and numbers and any questions you have to betanuphilanthropychair@gmail.com.
Tickets to the 2016 Diamond Cup are $7 from any ADPi or $10 at the door, hope to see you all there on Sunday!
