Phi Tau Cookout Supports Hole in the Wall Gang Camps
Phi Kappa Tau will conduct the 16th annual Cookout for Kids on April 12 to support camps for children with chronic or terminal illnesses.
Phi Tau members will be taking lunch orders for barbecued meals to be delivered April 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pick-up at 215 North High Street is also available.
This year’s menu features either a barbecued half chicken or pork steak, with side orders of baked beans, coleslaw, bread and a soda for $8.
Proceeds from Cookout for Kids go to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps for children with chronic or terminal illnesses. The camps were originally created in 1988 by actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, a Phi Tau alumnus. They provide one-week camping experiences for children that require around the clock care and frequent hospitalization.
It costs, on average, $2,100 to send one child to camp, but Hole in the Wall Gang Camps do not charge families. The camps use contributions and donations.
Truman’s Phi Kappa Tau chapter has contributed more than $5,000 to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps in the last three years through the Cookout profits.
To place an order, or to request an order form for an office or organization, call 816.686.0285 or e-mail Ralph Cupelli at rcupelli@truman.edu. Order forms are also available in McClain Hall 203. Advanced orders should be placed by April 5. Late orders will only be accepted subject to food availability.
