Run 4 Chance: The Chance Phelps Foundation

A few good men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc (deployed serving our Great Nation), manned a water point during the Annual "Chance Phelps Foundation, 5km at Kandahar Airfield).

Although we should have been participants, it was much easier to watch 200-300 heroes run through dust clouds in over 95 degrees @ 7AM.

We were well appreciated by the runners as we had the ONLY water point with "Ice Cold Water", and Gatorade.  Since we are known as the "Ice COLD brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha", it should have been expected.   We were proud to assist with an event that is helping a foundation that supports our military brothers and sisters!

The Chance Phelps Foundation is a 501(c)3 foundation dedicated to honoring U.S. military and their families, personnel serving as well as returning vets and GoldStar families, by providing a variety of services and helps of emotional, practical and financial scope. The Foundation is named after, and honors the memory of, LCpl Chance Phelps, assigned to 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force from Camp Pendleton, California, killed in action, April 9, 2004 in Al Anbar Province, Iraq.

So if you have some etc cash, this is a great foundation to donate your extra funds. http://www.chancephelps.org/
