The AmaXIng Challenge is Alpha Xi Delta’s signature fundraising event designed to raise funds for Autism Speaks and promote understanding and acceptance of autism. Chapters are provided complete event templates for a variety of AmaXIng Challenge events and are encouraged to select the event that will best fit their campus and community. Each college chapter hosts at least one of the following AmaXIng Challenge events per year:
Step It Up is a campus or community 5K, fun run or walk event that attracts members of the Greek community, student organizations, family, friends, faculty, local businesses, community organizations and the local Autism Speaks community.
Xi Man is a talent competition where men or women, athletic teams and student organizations, compete for the title of Xi Man or Xi Woman. Activities can include penny wars, an autism trivia competition, fundraising competition and a pageant, just to name a few.
Football FrenXi is a bracketed flag football tournament. Organizations are encouraged to register an entire team, and some events will include t-shirt contests, spirit competitions and other interactive games.
Puzzlepalooza is a bracket-style puzzle competition that fits the theme of “piecing together the autism puzzle.” Teams compete to finish the same puzzle in the shortest amount of time to advance to the next round until a team has been crowned the winner.
Karaoke for a Cause is a student karaoke or lip sync competition. Some chapters will broaden the scope and include talents, dancing, etc.
Xi Marks the Spot is a campus or community scavenger hunt that takes teams from one clue to another. At each stop, teams participate in various activities to earn a piece of the puzzle. The team who finishes each activity and completes the puzzle first wins the competition.
