By: Phi Delta Theta Alumni of Georgia Thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Fraternity’s undergraduate chapters at University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Mercer University and its Atlanta, Middle Georgia and Savannah alumni clubs (http://georgiaphidelts.weebly.com/) “We are thrilled to partner with Phi Delta Theta again on this great event. Their continued support both here locally and as a national sponsor of The ALS Association, help create awareness of ALS and the urgency to find a cure,” said Sarah Embro, Executive Director of The ALS Association of Georgia. The race is part of the 2015 Black Bag Race Series and is open to the public. Registration fees are $35 with a $10 discount to those registering before March 15, 2015. Early registrants will receive a race tshirt. Awards will be given to overall male/female, overall masters male/female and top 3 finishers in standard age groups from 10 and under to 75 and over. “We’re excited to host an event for such a worthy cause,” said Christopher Maddox, race organizer for the Georgia Tech chapter. “ALS has significant meaning to Phi Delts everywhere and to partner with our brothers on other campuses for a common cause is a great opportunity.” On each campus, race day registration and packet pickup begins at 7AM and the run begins at 9AM. Runners interested in participating in any one of the races should register at: www.classicraceservices.com. Those interested in making a donation to the initiative or a specific runner can do so by visiting www.support.ironphi.org About Iron Phi The Iron Phi program was developed as a way to strengthen both Phi Delta Theta and its impact on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. The Fraternity has a philanthropic partnership with The ALS Association, a non-profit entity with the mission of bringing awareness to the disease and finding its cure. Through the fundraising efforts of members of Phi Delta Theta on the way to achieving personal athletic goals, the Fraternity mobilizes its membership base to help The ALS Association and Phi Delta Theta Foundation achieve its missions. Known as the "Iron Horse" during his baseball career, Gehrig, who was initiated into Phi Delta Theta while studying at Columbia University, displayed a never-give-up attitude after being stricken with ALS, continuing to inspire those around him.
