Festivus 2014: The 10th Anniversary

The American Dream

Festivus is a Seinfeld-inspired, mud themed spring festival at Elon University, organized and financed entirely by independent entrepreneurial students. By raising enough money to host this community event, we welcome every student on campus to a day of free BBQ and entertainment.

Over the years, Festivus has grown from a small party to a spectacular achievement. Festivus at Elon has become the quintessential college event, and an ode to all that is possible in America as young, spirited individuals. For one day, our student body comes together and celebrates our incredible school and community. Who you are and where you are from are irrelevant; people from all backgrounds wrestle in the mud pit, eat pulled pork sandwiches, and listen to music together. 

We have had multiple media outlets cover Festivus, and all in attendance say the same thing: It is truly the greatest college tradition in America. 

This year is the 10th Anniversary of the student tradition and we are ambitiously seeking the funds to make it the greatest Festivus of all time. There is not a doubt in our mind that this event is the epitome of the collegiate life, and we wish for all that attend to be able to say it was the greatest day of there time in college. 

What Festivus 2014 Needs

As the fame our Festivus grows, the expenses and funds necessary to host this event grow as well. But luckily, just enough people donate to the cause each year to enable Festivus to continue. Some expenses include:

  • Land rentals
  • Land fixtures and reseeding
  • Cleanup crews
  • Safety precautions (EMTs, mud pit containment, etc.)
  • Water bills
  • Live Entertainment
  • Hospitality

The Impact

Hopefully you understand that Festivus is much more than a party. It is a culture, it is a dream, it is a vision for what is capable of young students and entrepreneurs who have a passion. We fully believe this event represents the American dream: regardless of who an individual is, they are welcomed at the free event. And we work collectively, as a student community, to ensure its success each year.

As Festivus and its national awareness grows, we want to inspire others to believe that they are capable of amazing things such as this. With ambition and a belief, we are able to grow our event, our our small university, to the greatest college tradition that has ever existed. 

We ask that you contribute to the Festivus dream and allow us to continue growing and hosting the event that is the greatest day to so many individuals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Other Ways You Can Help
