About the Event

Come join us starting 12:00pm in Gullen Mall on Wayne State's campus! The brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha Delta Nu gather each spring to host a 5k in honor of our fallen brother, Joe Sazyc. Joe died in 2012 in a battle with brain cancer. All proceeds of the race will be donated to the American Brain Tumor Association, as we have partnered with them for each annual 5k. Pi Kappa Alpha is a fraternity based in Midtown Detroit, and we have been dedicated to serving our community since our establishment. The race will be held on June 1st around Wayne State’s Campus. There will be raffles and prizes given away after the event is complete. We hope you will join us!
