Phi Tau to Host Cookout for Kids April 19

Truman’s Phi Kappa Tau chapter will conduct its annual Cookout for Kids April 19 to benefit the SeriousFun Camps for children with chronic or terminal illnesses.

The cookout menu includes barbecued half chicken or pork steak, baked beans, coleslaw, bread and a soda or bottled water for $10. Food is delivered or can be picked up between 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. at 215 N. High Street.

Fraternity members will be taking orders at tables in the Student Union Building, April 4 and April 6-7. Orders can also be made online through April 10 at truman.phikappatau.org/cookout. To request an order form, contact Dustin Lanter.

Actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, a Phi Tau alumnus, founded the SeriousFun Camps. They provide multiple one-week camping experiences for children who suffer from chronic and terminal illnesses that require around-the-clock care and frequent hospitalizations. The camps provide these experiences free of charge to children’s families and it is only through contributions that the camps are able to continue. One hundred percent of the profits from Cookout for Kids go to the camps.
