Charities

Beta Alpha Psi is a co-ed professional/service based student organization within the College of Business. 

The Beta 5K was founded to combine the philanthropic interests and athletic desires of our current executive board into one event.   Each time the board changes, the charities benefited through this event will also change.  This allows the profits of each year’s race to go to organizations the current race planners feel passionate about.
