Rock N' Root Beer was a one time fundraiser I pitched and then held alongside other brothers of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity on Purdue campus. We began with a budget of $3,000 and raised a total of $12,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As External Vice president I was tasked with general coordination and organization in order to hold our first ever Rock N' Root Beer fundraiser. Being the first event of it's kind and as a rookie manager it was a bit of a rocky road but the experience but the lessons I learned along the way were invaluable.

Primary Coordinator
I approximated the cost of the overall event and maintained a budget that made the event possible, managed the different facets of the event, while communicating all work with the house.
I was in constant contact with 6 contractors and a national distributor including 3 artists and our lighting and sound consultants. I was responsible for communication with and the adherence of guidelines posted by all Purdue, West Lafayette, and Indiana agencies as well as general management of officers making the event possible.
