Alpha Epsilon Pi – Rock-A-Thon

From April 20-22, 2023, Sam Shellist, a senior in the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity at The University of Missouri, will sit down in a rocking chair for 63 hours in downtown Columbia with the goal of raising $200,000 for the American Cancer Society. That money will come in the form of donations from events, sponsorships and money collected through canning.

In 2021, the chapter raised over $180,000, crushing the record previously set in 2017. This event also set the world record for a single-chapter fraternity or sorority philanthropy event. Since the event was first held in Columbia in 1969, the chapter has raised over $1,200,000 for the March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society. Supporters may donate here.
