Philanthropy
Aside from active involvement in various campus/community service projects, Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority is dedicated to enlighten and educate the public about its national philanthropy, cancer awareness. In February of 1999, at the first annual sisterhood retreat, the Founders realized that not only had many of them personally dealt with cancer, but that its effects were significantly impacting one another’s lives. In light of this, cancer awareness became Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority’s philanthropic focus. Every academic year during the month of April, National Cancer Awareness Month, each sorority chapter and colony proudly hosts C.A.R.E. (Cancer Awareness- a Real Effort!) Week. C.A.R.E. Week is a truly unique yet comprehensive initiative and has been recognized as such by the prestigious Asian Cup Award. It is the only one of its kind to dedicate a week of events aimed to increase public awareness about early detection and prevention of cancer by collaborating education with fun-filled, interactive activities. Events that have been held in past years include:
Kick-Off Rally
Bone Marrow Registration Drive
Lung Cancer Forum , Breast Cancer Forum, Skin Cancer Forum
Candlelight Vigil
C.A.R.E. Fair
Make A Wish Foundation Volunteer Activity
Charity Dinner
Annual Miss Ugly Man Pageant & After-Party
We hope you will join Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority in the fight against cancer. No deed is too big or too small. Whether you can give generous gifts or you can lend a helping hand, there is always someone in need. If you would like to support us in our cause or are interested in further ways to get involved, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you to all those who helped support C.A.R.E. Week Nationwide! Without your support we would not have raised over $91,000 to date to help cancer charities such as Scott and White Center for Cancer Prevention and Care: Hope Fund, American Cancer Society, the Clayton Dabney Foundation for Kids With Cancer, and the The Lance Armstrong Foundation.
