Tau Kappa Epsilon Holds

A "Read-For-life" Fundraiser

The brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity at Lycoming College will hold a read-for-life fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting the Kirby Fenton Fund. 

The event will start on Friday, November 14^th at 6:00 PM in Burchfield Lounge and will run until 6:00 AM on Sunday, November 16^th.  For the duration of the read-for-life, six TKE brothers will serve as readers and take turns reading out loud for 36 hours straight.  The readers will remain in the lounge for the duration of event—eating and sleeping there.

Kirby Fenton is a TKE Alumni who graduated from Lycoming College in 1980.  He is currently suffering from a brain tumor and is not responding to the chemotherapy.  The fund will help support Fenton’s wife and two children.  Before his illness set in, Mr. Fenton was a police officer in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. 

Any donations will be accepted at the Read-for-Life, where there will be a table, or by contacting any TKE brother.  Checks can be made out to the Kirby Fenton Fund.  There will also be sheets for pledges, where a person can have the option of writing down their donation and paying it later.  All donations will be greatly appreciated, as the brothers of TKE are working against the clock to try and help Mr. Fenton’s family.

Anyone wishing for further information may contact TKE president Gene Melvin at meleuge@lycoming.edu or Vice President Kris Accardi at acckris@lycoming.edu.
