Alpha Tau Omega will be hosting the "Blazin' Wing Challenge" to raise money for the Charleston Fire Department at 1 p.m. Sunday. The challenge will take place at the ATO chapter house located at 509 Lincoln Ave. In case of inclement weather the event will take place in McAfee Gymnasium.
The challenge is sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings and is open to anyone who wants to participate. Contestants will be attempting to eat wings, mild or blazin', as fast as possible.
The competition will be split into men's, women's, and group contests. People may also attend the event without entering the contest and to watch.
Registration packets are available inside Carman Hall and at the Union for $10 or they can be purchased from any ATO member. Registration will also be available at the event for $15, and T-shirts will be sold for $10.
"We are excited for this event, and we hope it will turn into an annual way to help our local fire department," said Weston Steinberg, a sophomore ATO member.
Assistant Fire Chief Pat Goodwin of the Charleston Fire Department said the proceeds from the event will go to new protective gear or into the budget for the department's public education campaign.
"We appreciate the support and are hoping for good weather and a good turnout," he said.
