Virginia Tech's Gamma Phi Beta's Crescent Classic is coming up and everyone is allowed to participate!  

This year Gamma Phi at Tech will be hosting their first ever annual Gamma 5K on Saturday, October 4th!  The event will be held in, "the Seneca Field behind The Food Lion on N. Main Street, in the Hunter's Ridge Apartment Community," in Blacksburg.  Check in begins at 10 a.m. and the race will begin at 11.  Come out if you can and support our cause!

If you haven't heard about Gamma Phi Beta's philanthropy before, it's all about Building Strong Girls! We support organizations like Girls on the Run and Campfire USA who help to strengthen the attitudes and lives of girls in their preteens/teens.  We're all about the young ladies as they grow up to be "joyful, healthy and confident" women.  

It's a tough world for these growing girls, as they deal with more and more pressure to look, dress and act a certain way.  As a sorority and group of girls, we understand how they are feeling, have faced similar pressures and feel so much pride in helping girls get through this self evaluating time in their lives.  We hope to instill in them the core values we believe in ourselves: Love, Labor, Learning and Loyalty.  We also hope that these values will help these lovely ladies grow to be self assured and happy with themselves.

All of the proceeds from the event will go to Girls on the Run-Roanoke and Campfire USA. The money will most likely be used to sponsor girl's, who would otherwise not be able to attend, camp fees.  If you're interested in running (or walking, walking is definitely welcome)  register now at http://kmg222.wix.com/gamma5kvt. Donations are also welcome and very much appreciated!  Our goal is to raise 10,000 dollars.  So come to help a great cause!  Hang out with us lovely ladies!  Get a bit of exercise!  Whatever floats your boat and encourages you to come participate!  Hope to see you there.
