On the weekend of June 7, 2009, the men of Psi Alpha Alpha (PsiAA) Chapter, Third District, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. returned to the “Celebrate Fairfax” event as a vendor, offering a wide variety of adult beverages to the event patrons. As a non-profit partner to the “Celebrate Fairfax” organization, the Chapter donates man-hours at a designated sales station, and in turn receives a portion of the profits from those sales as a fundraiser. Celebrate Fairfax is a “county fair” activity hosted by the Fairfax County Government and its sponsors, and is the largest community wide celebration in Northern Virginia. The annual event hosts tens of thousands of visitors during its three-day run. The site hosts twenty-five acres of exhibitors, food vendors, interactive activities, and carnival rides, with continuous live entertainment. Psi Alpha Alpha was one of nonprofit groups to host an unlimited craft beer tasting event on June 9, 2019. This year, Psi Alpha Alpha raised over $5,073 in total fund-raising, supporting Chapter activities as well as scholarships via the Chapter’s associated charitable (501(c)(3)) organization, the Bernie L. Bates Foundation, Inc. Although this activity represents a substantial amount of labor on the part of the Chapter, brothers always enjoy participating in this excellent fundraiser because it offers them an opportunity for brothers to directly interact with our constituent county. As the event chair, I wish to thank all the Brothers who volunteered their time to work a shift, and we look forward to next year’s event.
