Frat members to push tub from Soo to Marquette

SAULT STE. MARIE, MI--   Members of a Lake Superior State University fraternity plan to push a street-modified bathtub roughly 170 miles across part of the Upper Peninsula this week to raise money for a police department. 

The annual Tau Kappa Epsilon fundraiser is Friday.  The bathtub  will be pushed from Sault Ste. Marie to Northern Michigan University in Marquette.

In previous years the effort has raised money for research for Alzheimer's disease, the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum, and Special Olympics.  Proceeds this year benefit the Marquette Police Department's K-9 unit.
