VSUAA- Baltimore Metro Chapter

On Saturday, April 27, 2024, the VSUAA Baltimore Metro Chapter participated in the 2024 PanCAN PurpleStride Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness.  They were proud for what they did for Team VSU in honor of Paul JuJu Robinson, and raised over $6,000 and placed 4th as the top overall fundraising team. It was a beautiful morning to support Janis and Jared Robinson, the Nu Psi family and all who cherish our beloved Trojan and we truly felt his spirit throughout the day.

Accolades to Keith Copeland, the fundraising leader raising over $3,000 in one week. He truly puts "friendship is essential to the soul" in action. The bar has been set, so let's get ready for 2025 to return to "Purple Passion" status again.
