Alumni,
This year undergraduate class president Alex Stezskal is riding across Florida for Push America. Please support him in this great endeavor.

I was at Push Camp over Spring Break and found out that a couple of guys dropped the GUF team and there could be a couple openings. I called and filled out the application on Monday and by Tuesday I was on the 2008 Gear Up Florida Team. A little last minute, but still on the team none the less.

When I say “I’m Proud to be a Pi Kapp” this is one of the main reasons. PUSH America. An amazing organization doing extraordinary things and affecting people’s lives in unimaginable ways. What a great thing for Pi Kappa Phi to stand for.

I am extremely excited for this coming summer. I think the experience I will gain from this event will be incredible and stay with me for the rest of my life. Between overcoming the obstacles of physically training and fund raising (this late in the game) and interacting with the kids with disabilities, I know I will come out of Gear Up Florida as a better overall person.

I would like to thank all the Re-Founding Fathers from my Upsilon chapter for giving me this oppurtunity. Without their hard work and dedicaiton in re-chartering our Upsilon chapter, I would not be a Pi Kapp, and I would not have this prestigous oppurtunity.
