Every year, Beta Theta Pi fraternity hosts Bowling for Boxers to raise for Boxer Friends, Inc. This year, Beta Theta Pi will be teaming up with the Pre-Veterinary Club at NSU for the event on Nov. 4, from 7-9 p.m. at SpareZ Davie bowling alley.
“We’re collaborating with Pre-Vet this year because we want to expand our event and make it well-known around campus,” said Michael DeSimone, president of Beta Theta Pi.
Established in 2000, Boxer Friends, Inc. is a nonprofit charitable organization in South Florida that rescues purebred, displaced Boxers from shelters before they are put down and helps them find safe and permanent homes.
Every brother of Beta Theta Pi and every member of the Pre-Veterinary club is assigned their own team that they must fill with four more participants. Each participant must pay $20, which includes food, drinks, three games of bowling and prizes. Last year, the event brought in over $1,200 in donations. This year, Beta Theta Pi and the Pre-Veterinary Club hope to at least double that amount.
By raising funds for Boxers in distress who have been abused or abandoned, Pre-Vet and Beta Theta Pi said they hope to provide Boxers with families that will properly care for and love them.
“We want them to live a healthy dog life,” said DeSimone.
The event is open to all NSU students, family, friends and the general public. Beta Theta Phi and the Pre-Veterinary Club said they want to draw in as many participants as possible.
Interested persons can also show up to the event and register or donate there, according to Zara Martinez, president of the Pre-Veterinary Club.
Those interested in participating can reach out to any member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity or Pre-Veterinary Club. For more information, students can contact Michael DeSimone at md1873@nova.edu or Zara Martinez at zm87@nova.edu.
