Keeping the bands Hydrated

Roar Fest

April 12, 2025

Miami Gardens, FL

At ROAR FEST 2025, Beta Phi Delta Fraternity was proud to support the incredible student musicians who gave their all during the High School Battle of the Bands by providing free bottled water to every participating band. With the South Florida sun shining bright, staying hydrated was essential—and thanks to the generosity of our members, donors, and supporters, we were able to meet that need and show our appreciation for these young performers' hard work and talent. Your continued support allows us to pour back into the community in meaningful ways, and this initiative is just the beginning. We look forward to expanding our efforts and making an even greater impact at future events. Thank you for standing with us as we uplift and empower the next generation!
