Alpha Pi Raises $1,500 for Camp Korey

January 24, 2012: Seattle, Wash.—Alpha Pi chapter at Washington held its fourth annual haunted house philanthropy at the end of October and raised $1,500 for Camp Korey, a Hole in the Wall Camp. More than 250 people visited the haunted house during the three-day event.

Chapter members spent several days decorating the chapter house and creating costumes for the "Haunted Mansion" event. During the philanthropy, a tour guide took guests around the house to show them the mysteries and supernatural occurrences of the haunted mansion. Guests paid $5 to take a tour of the house, and every penny went to Camp Korey.

The philanthropy event is especially significant for Alpha Pi chapter brothers because they regularly volunteer at the camp.

"This event is important to us because it is a time of the year when we get to come together as a house for a few days of hard work and late nights to raise money for Camp Korey," said Chapter President Henry Kaminskis, Washington '11. "It's the combination of hard work and fun over this one week each fall that exemplifies the close bonds of our brotherhood.”

Camp Korey is located in Carnation, Wash. It operated as an on-the-road camp before opening its doors at Carnation Farm in 2008. Visit the camp's website at campkorey.org.
