On March 5th 2017, The brothers of Lambda Phi Epsilon came in the early morning to volunteer at the annual Hot Chocolate Run 5k/15k. The Hot Chocolate run started in 2008 in Chicago Illinois and has since spread throughout the country. We wanted to support Make-A-Wish® which is the official race charity of the Hot Chocolate Run 15k/5k! If you would like to participate please visit https://www.hotchocolate15k.com/seattle to register or for more information.
Our shifts began at 6:00 A.M. In the cold and rain, the brothers started by helping other volunteers check in. After all of the volunteers were checked in, the brothers moved to work at the coat/bag check in where they worked the rest of their shifts.
Here are what some of our volunteers had to say about the event:
“I thought it was pretty chill” – Kent (Alpha Eta)
“Chilly, fun, but disappointed about not getting hot chocolate” – Robert (Alpha Eta)
“Glad we were all able to bond with the new class and help our local community reach their goals too” -Rey (Alpha Epsilon)
“It was a great bonding experience I liked the free sweaters too” -Randy R (Alpha Eta)
