PI BETA PHI 5K.

The Arkansas Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women sponsors their annual Read. Lead. Achieve 5K Race. This event brings together students, parents, alumnae, and local residents in an effort to promote Children’s Literacy.    The 5K would not be possible without the help of the families and friends of Arkansas Alpha members. We would greatly appreciate any donation in support of our literacy initiatives.

All proceeds from the 5K will be donated to Pi Beta Phi’s Literacy Fund, which funds our local philanthropic efforts, such as Champions are Readers in Fayetteville elementary schools and book donations to various organizations and schools in Northwest Arkansas. 

Please visit the Pi Beta Phi registration website at https://piphi5k.square.site to stay up to date on the annual event registration dates and event dates.
