Results

Here are the results of last year's race! ΦΣΠ is a Co-ed National Honor Fraternity that combines the elements of an honor society, social fraternity, and service organization. This mixture of scholarship, fellowship, and leadership creates a vibrant and dynamic organization. We are the Alpha Omicron Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi, founded March 3rd, 1991. We are a brotherhood of about 80 diverse men and women from all walks of life studying a variety of topics at the University. What brings us together is our love of brotherhood, fellowship, and leadership in the University of Virginia Community.

Pediatric Cancer Care UVA Children's Hospital

At UVA Children’s Hospital, dedicated, family-orientated doctors and staff treat children and young adults with all types of cancer, including acute lymphocyte leukemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and brain tumors. Each year, UVA pediatric oncologists see approximately 30-40 new cases of childhood cancer.

Every year, UVA Children's Hospital counts some 100,000 patient visits. Many of these are made by children with cancer. Their families come to UVA from across Virginia and beyond to find doctors, nurses, and staff who are experienced in caring for children. Pediatric cancer care is one of over 30 specialties at UVA Children's Hospital.
