Eat , Play and Donate
The Union-Schenectady Alliance is teaming up Phi Delta Theta, a local restaurant and others to raise awareness of the devastation in Dulac, La. in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill.
During halftime of Saturday’s football game between Union and Salisbury University, 10 students will face off in an eating contest featuring the New Orleans specialty, the muffuletta sandwich.
In addition, as part of their regular grilling charity fundraiser, the brothers of Phi Delta Theta will feature a Louisiana-themed game day. Samples of muffuletta sandwiches will be available. Donations will be accepted, with proceeds going to the Dulac Community Center.
Students, faculty and staff have worked with the center for the past five years as part of Union’s Community Service mini-term in Louisiana. The mini-term grew out of trips students took on part of their December break to help rebuild parts of New Orleans damaged or destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Some participants will be on hand Saturday to discuss their experiences.
