Speir, along with members of Kappa Alpha Theta, coordinated the event in order to raise money for awareness of and resources for treating eating disorders. The event was stationed on The Green outside of Sharp Lab, with a volunteer’s powder blue classic Chevrolet parked off of East Delaware Avenue to highlight the heart of the event.
