No Shave 2024 - In Memory of Kyle

In June 2018, a beloved friend and fraternity brother, Kyle Burkey, was taken from us far too soon. Over the last 5+ years, we have continued to honor his memory and keep Kyle close to our hearts through the dedication of our No Shave November campaign to raise money for the Kyle Burkey Memorial Scholarship Fund. As part of our fundraising efforts, we have worked to bring awareness and create a forum to speak openly about mental health issues across the world.

This year will mark our seventh November raising money for the Kyle Burkey Memorial Scholarship Fund, which aids young adults from Kyle's alma matter in pursuing higher education in music and related fields; thanks to the generosity of Kyle's friends and family, we have raised tens of thousands of dollars and have continued to raise awareness and work to extinguish the stigma around mental health. We have set our initial goal at $4,000 this year and hope that you will all join us in our efforts to bring to light this incredibly important issue.

No one should ever have to walk through life feeling alone, and supporting this cause will help keep Kyle’s memory alive, as well as bring attention to mental health awareness, which is far too often ignored. We thank you for your support.
