The Ability Experience is a nonprofit organization which helps people with disabilities. The fraternity’s largest fund-raising and awareness event, the Journey of Hope, has benefited from the generosity of the Atlanta Braves over the past two years.
It works like this. Members of the fraternity, representing colleges and universities nationwide, make a cross-country cycling trek. This year, the trip began in San Francisco on June 14 and finished nearly 3,800 miles and 62 days later in Washington D.C.
The riders, in two teams, average 75 miles a day and stop in cities along the way, joining forces with local groups to raise money and awareness for PUSH. While PUSH America South Team travels the southern part of the country, a second team journeys across the northern United States. In Atlanta, the riders come to a ball game as part of the Braves Youth Night program. The Braves give Pi Kappa Phi tickets for upper level seats.
