HOOPS -n- HOGS
• Hoops -n- Hogs is an annual fundraiser done by a few chapters of Alpha Delta Pi.
• The Delta Theta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi has done this fundraiser for three years.
• Each year, the amount of money collected has increased.
HOOPS -n- HOGS
• Hoops represents the basketball tournament that is played. Each team pays a $100 entry fee which is donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
• Hogs represents the barbeque that is held after the winners of the basketball tournament are announced.
RAFFLE TICKETS
• Many businesses in Valdosta donated gifts to be raffled off.
• Over $500 dollars was raised just by selling the raffle tickets alone.
T-Shirts
• $2 from every t-shirt sold was donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Bar-B-Que
• Every girl was required to sell 5 barbeque tickets.
• Over 500 barbeque plates were sold.
POP TABS
• The Ronald McDonald House Charities also collect pop tabs.
• Our chapter set up a competition between the local elementary schools in Valdosta.
POP TABS
• The school that collects the most pop tabs gets a visit from Ronald McDonald.
• The class that collects the most pop tabs receives a Happy Meal for lunch.
The Ronald McDonald House
• The aim of the Ronald McDonald House is to provide comfort and “a home-away-from-home” for the families of seriously ill children.
• The Ronald McDonald House funds offer grants to non-profit organizations whose programs are for children in need.
• Since the Ronald
McDonald House was
established, Alpha
Delta Pi has
contributed over $2.5
million to the effort.
• The girls of Alpha
Delta Pi spend time,
energy, and money
volunteering at many
of the 240 houses
across the world.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
• Community service is a good way to boost the self-confidence of yourself and others.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
• Community service is important because giving to others is a way to realize how privileged you are.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
• My day of community service was not only beneficial to the Ronald McDonald House, but I got a feeling of accomplishment and pride.
• I would do it again because I think that it is important to give back to the community.
