Grant Hershbine is the Director of the Battle of the Buffalo, an annual
wing festival put on by the brothers of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. Battle of the Buffalo was
created in honor of our beloved fallen brother, Paul “Fish” Salmon.
Since losing his battle with cancer in 2007, our chapter has raised more
than $230,000 for Russel Hill Cancer Foundation and $42,000 for
HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.
Grant is set to graduate in May from the University of
Alabama-Huntsville and then plans to attend law school in the fall.
