Brothers,
The brothers of Sigma Chi have a proud tradition of hosting a weeklong philanthropy event called Derby Days each Spring. This year, our Derby Days event will take place from April 5-April 9 and will consist of sororities competing in tournament style activities around campus. Our philanthropic efforts benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute which is one of the top facilities for cancer research, treatment, and care. All donations raised during Derby Days will be given to their team of healthcare professionals in an effort to better cancer treatment.
In 2019, the brothers of the Alpha Chapter raised a record number of donations raised at $29,000. This year, the Alpha Chapter has set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000. This figure is far from arbitrary - an independent clinical research trial at the Huntsman Cancer Institute costs $50,000. This year, the Alpha Chapter has already worked incredibly hard to raise over $25,000.
We appreciate a donation of any amount. It takes a lot to reach this large goal, but we will be pushing ourselves to find a way to reach it. Brothers, I thank you so much for your consideration and wish you a great rest of the year.
In Hoc,
Ben Skaggs -- Philanthropy Chairman
