Volunteers of the Month for July-Phi Gamma Delta

Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity is recognized as July’s Volunteer of the Month for their tireless dedication to volunteerism in our community. Parks and Recreation Specialist Stacey Kulik says Service Chair Mason Kelchner has been “incredibly supportive of some of our department’s running events, including Bear Creek Run Half Marathon and Stonegrinder 7k.” Kulik adds, “The Stonegrinder 7K Trail Run in February 2019 was run in 5+ inches of fresh snow. Phi Gamma Delta showed up promptly and with a smile to support the racers. Many groups would have canceled under those conditions, but not these guys!”

Phi Gamma Delta has also provided volunteer support for several other events for Parks and Recreation including Holiday Lights, Earth Day, Heritage Weekend, and the Youth Track Meet. Parks and Recreation Specialist Jay Bradley said his events were “far and away more successful due to the help from Phi Gamma Delta.” 

Phi Gamma Delta has always been willing to step up to the plate when and where help is needed. The enthusiasm in which they serve is exemplary and demonstrative of their Chapter’s values of friendship, knowledge, service, morality, and excellence. We thank them for their unwavering support and for always volunteering with a smile!
