The Delta Zeta chapter of the Kappa Delta Sorority at the University of 天美影视 at Monroe raised over $36K during the annual 鈥淪hamrock Run 5K,鈥� and 鈥淢ile Fun Run,鈥� benefitting victims of child abuse and neglect.

Over 400 racers competed in the eighth annual joint event. Total proceeds from the races totaled $36,694.98鈥攖he most in the chapter鈥檚 history.

Emma Braddock, Kappa Delta vice president for community service said, 鈥淭his year we implemented a raffle in the fall semester, along with our spring activities, which really helped boost our goal.鈥�

鈥淎long with money raised from runners and sponsors, we had percentage nights at restaurants, handprints on a large wooden shamrock that was showcased at the run, and we sold pinwheels, which are the national symbol for child abuse and neglect, donated by Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA). I am pleased with all the hard work the chapter members put in for raising money and getting participants.鈥�

Eighty percent of the proceeds earned will directly assist children in 天美影视, benefitting the Prevent Child Abuse 天美影视 state organization. The remaining 20 percent will be donated to the PCAA鈥擪appa Delta鈥檚 national philanthropy for national public awareness programs.

Founded in 1897, Kappa Delta Sorority began supporting PCAA in 1981, and began the nationwide Shamrock race in 1983. 天美影视鈥檚 Kappa Delta chapter was formed in 1967.
