Brothers Inspiring Brothers Since 1969
It all started in 1969, when Jack Fishman read about a Rock-A-Thon at East Carolina University that had raised over $900 for the March of Dimes. Soon, Fishman and rocker Gary Panitz spearheaded a campaign that would raise $3205.29 for the March of Dimes. 54 years and over one million dollars raised later, we still rock every other April.

What is Mizzou Rock-A-Thon?
Rock-A-Thon is an extensive effort by the men of Alpha Epsilon Pi (University of Missouri) to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Started in 1969, Rock-A-Thon was founded on the idea that we can make a difference when we come together. In our 54 years, we have raised over a combined $1,000,000. In April 2023, Rock-A-Thon suported head, neck, and brain cancers as they embark on their mission with the American Cancer Society. Head, neck, and brain cancers come in many different forms and tens of thousands of people in the US are diagnosed annually. Brain and spinal cord tumors are the second most common cancers in children accounting for about 1 out of 4 childhood cancers. Please Click Here for more information on head and neck cancers!
