Alfeil Felipe, a 20-year-old UF applied physiology and kinesiology junior, takes the first of many pies to the face during Dare Night at Depot Park Thursday. About 20 people attended the fundraiser for UF Shoes 4 Smiles, a student organization that provides shoes to disadvantaged children. Felipe, the organization’s vice president, participated in nearly all of the evening’s dares, including being egged, shaving his head, getting pied in the face and eating spicy noodles. Proceeds raised by the event went to providing shoes to underprivileged communities in Gainesville.
