Next week, Sigma Chi will be hosting its first Spring Philanthropy Week--with three cookouts. On Tuesday, April 14, the new members will be selling hot dogs, brats and burgers to raise money for Sigma Chi's primary philanthropy, Children's Miracle Network. On Thursday, April 16, Sigma Chi will team up with Alpha Chi Omega to cook up some funds for Sojourner's Truth House and Children's Miracle Network. On Friday, April 17, as part of Testicular Cancer Awareness Week, Sigma Chi's third event of the week will benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
"With Derby Days in the fall from now on," said Philanthropy Chair Guillermo Contreras, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, "I felt that something should be planned for second semester to show our presence on campus and benefit our philanthropies. I feel strongly about the event as a whole and hope to raise a substantial amount to help out CMN and the Huntsman Institute."
"I'm excited to see what the newly initiated brothers will do with the opportunity" to plan a philanthropy event on their own, said Contreras. "They actually came to me asking to put on an event this week. They helped me come up with the idea, and they've been really involved in helping me plan it. They're a solid group of individuals--they were very close and involved throughout pledging--and I'm excited to see them so eager to work for our philanthropy."
