The summer of 2009 is quickly approaching and with the summer comes the Journey of Hope and Build America.  The Journey of Hope is a bike ride from the Pacific Coast to Washington DC and along the way raise awareness and volunteer for Americans with disabilities.  To ride in the Journey of Hope each rider must raise $5,000 by doing different fundraising events.  Since our chartering nearly ten years ago, Theta Alpha has had many riders in the Journey of Hope, and we are excited to say that we will add three brothers to that list.  Taylor Goodie (Pi Class), Jonathan Robinson (Rho Class), and Ben Jones (Rho Class) have been training and raising their money for PUSH America so they can ride in this great event.  Also newly initiated, Eddie Tarkany (Sigma Class) is preparing himself and raising money as well to participate in Build America.  Build America goes to diffrent camps for Americans with disabilities and spend a week participating with the campers but most importantly building decks, playgrounds, etc. for the camp to use.  If you are interested in donating to their causes please feel free to contact them. Jonahan Robinson (601-297-3650)  - Taylor Goodie (251-656-7918) - Ben Jones (225-975-1388) - Eddie Tarkany (251-623-4481).
