About me: The Cody Blue Foundation was established after the death of Cody Pilkington. He was a sophomore at NC State University majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He spent his freshman year on campus in Sullivan Hall but pledged the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity in the Spring of 2005. He was invited to join the organization and moved into the fraternity housing located on Groveland Avenue in Raleigh, directly across from campus. The house was a duplex apartment that was not officially recognized as a fraternity house. (Low membership had forced the fraternity to move off campus.) Each side of the dwelling housed four fraternity brothers, with one living in the basement on each side and three occupying rooms on the second floors.In the early morning hours of October 7, 2005, a fire erupted in the house and spread quickly up the stairs on Cody's side of the house. The fire department arrived at 6:30 a.m. to find the house engulfed in flames. Cody and another young man were trapped on the second floor and both died from smoke inhalation.
Our mission as the Cody Blue foundation is to spread awareness about smoke detectors and the dangers of college living quarters if proper regulations and codes aren't carried out. Cody was unable to escape the buliding due to lack of smoke detectors. By the time he woke up the smoke was already too thick and it was to late for action. We are here to help and try our hardest to help prevent this from happening again. So please check your smoke detectors amd always be aware of your surroundings...
