How else are we planning to raise funds?
PANAC Leadership may consider future events maybe planned to support the endowment. The Midnite Cruise 06 raised funds for the Endowment and was held by DC Area Pi Alumni Brothers in Summer 2006. The event was an extremely successful effort. PANAC thanks all friends of Pi Alpha or Clemson who supported the event.
