The Texas Round Table (an organization on campus comprised of fourteen Spirit organization current and former presidents and currently headed by past Texas Spirit Chief Haunt Melanie Torre) honored Dr. James Vick, former Vice President for Student Affairs and a current Plan II Math professor, and all others who are fighting Parkinson’s disease by hosting a pancakes fundraiser on Wednesday, April 20th, at The University of Texas at Austin in front of Gregory Gym. The pancakes were handed out free of charge, but people were encouraged to give a donation of their choosing with all raised funds sent to the Team Fox Foundation to help fund Parkinson’s disease research. Thousands of pancakes were made and an incredible amount of $56,863.11 was raised for the cause as of April 20th.
Texas Spirits joined other volunteers from Spirit groups to talk to people, make pancakes, and clean tables. This event united the school and even brought President Powers to make an appearance. To learn more visit this link.
