Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus

 

 

 

 

 

The Kindly Hearts Initiative

The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.

Letters of Love

All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.

 

Our Chapter's Impact:

THON

THON is an integral part of Alpha Xi Delta and we work together year-round to create the best experience possible for our chapter and more importantly our THON families! For those who are not familiar with what THON is, it is a yearlong student-run philanthropy committed to enhancing the loves of children and families impacted by childhood cancer, which cumulates in a 46-hour dance marathon. 

Alpha Xi Delta has the privilege of being paired with five amazing Four Diamonds families! Throughout the year, we hold a variety of events and fundraisers in order to support and raise money on behalf of our families. Some of our favorite events include our annual Family BBQ, a winter Hershey Park trip, restaurant fundraisers, workout classes, clothing sales, an end of year Gala honoring our THON children who have passed away, and so much more! 

THON is a great way for our members to get involved not only with our organization, but a meaningful cause. AXiD THON is run and organized by a group of six girls who are chosen annually. Our efforts are overseen and directed by our Overall THON Chair who works cohesively with the other positions of Family Relations Chair, Alternative Fundraising Chair, Finance Chair, Spirit Chair, and THON Chair Assistant. Below these we also have two mini-committees, which anyone can be a part of, so no matter how old you are or what pledge class you are in, there is an opportunity to be involved with Alpha Xi Delta Benefitting THON! We can't wait to welcome our new pledge class next year so they can experience all that THON has to offer! #ForTheKids
