2. Another big part of our strategy this year is to startcontinueaour new philanthropy event, Sigma Chi Fight Night. In this event amateur fighters from each fraternity will duke it out in a boxing tournament. At the end of the tournament the fraternity with the most points earned by their fighters wins. We have already raised enough money to support this expensive event, and we are hoping to raise thousands more to donate to the Huntsman Foundation. Our event is November 2813 and 29.14. Following is the packet we developed for this event. We are inviting all of our brothers, so feel free to join in the festivities.
