The Spring Hill College colony of the Delta Chi Fraternity held its inaugural philanthropy event, benefiting The V Foundation for Cancer research this past Saturday. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was started by ESPN in 1993 to honor Jim Valvano, former North Carolina State basketball coach, who passed away from cancer. The main event this year was “Earth Ball,” which is a game dealing with a large ball being tossed down the field. The game first originated at the University of Florida and later Florida State University, while it has become a major event for the Delta Chi fraternity.

The objective of the game is to push the gigantic ball across the opposing team’s goal line by any means necessary, such as pushing, kicking and slapping the ball. Participants at the event included members of Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma and Phi Mu. The focus of the Delta Chi members was directed on how much money they could raise for the foundation, rather than trying to gain supporters. “we’re thrilled by the Spring Hill community who really came together to support us,” said sophomore Alan Corder, Delta Chi’s Alumni Chair. “we took pride in our Earth Ball event, and we are just happy to be on campus,” said Corder. The event raised over $1,000.
