Phil stands for philanthropy. At Iowa, Phil is everyone who gives to the UI—through their time, talents, or treasure—and everyone who benefits from those gifts. For Phil's Day, we’re tagging campus with black and gold bows and signs that represent Phil’s impact on our people, buildings, and programs. You can also learn more about Phil from entrepreneur Mark Kaufman (86BS), the founder and president/CEO of Athletico by attending the Life with Phil Talk at 10:30 a.m. in the Senate Chamber.

Learn more about Phil from entrepreneur Mark Kaufman (86BS), the founder and president/CEO of Athletico. Kaufman opened the first Athletico center in 1991. Today, Athletico has more than 400 locations in 11 states, making it the Midwest powerhouse provider of orthopedic rehabilitation services. Its corporate partners include the Chicago Bears, White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks. Kaufman has shared his gifts with the UI and given back to underserved communities through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago and Operation Walk Chicago.

The Paradise IOWA Club will once again participate in the Big Ten-Senior Friendship Centers Food Bag project.  Volunteers are needed from 10 a.m. to noon to pack and deliver food bags to those in need in the community. The deliveries are done in volunteers' vehciles, so we recommend that if you own an SUV, bring it that day.

We have up to 10 routes to cover. Routes can be combined or split depending on the number of volunteers. Routes are in central, north and south Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Lehigh Acres. Route sheets and maps will be provided that morning (or can be emailed ahead of time if requested). After a brief orientation, we'll fill the food bags. Volunteers should be on the road by 10:30 a.m. and routes are generally completed by noon. 

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Justin at paradise_iowa_club@hotmail.com.
