Shamrock Event March 2010
KD Shamrock the Stage
On Friday, March 5, 2010 Kappa Delta Sorority is hosting our annual Shamrock Event in the Barshinger Center for Musical Arts from 7:00 - 9:00 pm! This year our event is called Sham*rock* the Stage and will be a contest where members representing greek life, sports teams, clubs and other organizations on campus will perform! There will be prizes of up to $150 awarded to top performers.
Tickets to the performance cost $5.00, the entrance fee for performers is $25.00. All the proceeds will donated to organizations dedicated to the prevention of child abuse in America.
The majority of the funds -- 80 percent -- will stay right here in our community to fund the incredible work being done by the Milagro House. The remaining 20 percent will go to Prevent Child Abuse America -- the leading advocate for preventing child abuse and neglect among our nation's children since 1972. Since adopting child abuse prevention as a national philanthropy in 1983, Kappa Delta has raised nearly $10 million nationally for this important cause.
With your help, attendance and participation, we can continue to make an impact on the lives of children in our community and nationwide. VP-CS Steph

Haiti Relief by Eta Lambda via Mercy Corps
KD Support of Relief Efforts for Haiti
Eta Lambda Chapter of KD has created a personal fundraising page via Mercy Corps. We are raising money to support earthquake survivors in Haiti. Mercy Corps is deploying a team of relief workers to help meet the survivors' most urgent needs-- shelter, food and clean water. Mercy Corps has much expertise in this area; they have responded to dozens of disasters, such as earthquakes in Peru in 2007, in Pakistan and China in 2008 and in Padang, Indonesia in 2009. Please visit our fundraising page for more information (here) and consider making charitable donation to aid Haiti through our campaign!
