• We held a virtual 5k in support of RIF which raised almost 1,700 dollars. We also have been in close contact with Neighborhood Focus about potential volunteer opportunities in the future or ways to help raise money for them. We will also be donating money to the Kappa Foundation.
'''Philanthropy'''
As well as the KKG Foundation, we support Neighborhood Focus, Reading is Fundamental, and Loaves and Fishes.
For Neighborhood Focus, we chose this organization because they work with kids of all ages, from elementary to high school, providing a safe space after school to work on language skills, reading skills, and their homework. For Reading is Fundamental, we chose this organization because not only is it our national philanthropy, but it also provides learning materials and books to teachers, parents, and children, which is especially important during this pandemic since it has led to isolated learning. For Loaves and Fishes, we chose this organization because they provide canned foods for those in need in Greenville, which is important during the economic strain caused by the pandemic.
'''Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion'''
'''Sesquicentennial Celebration'''
We held a virtual Founders Day celebration through Zoom where we invited chapter alumnae from the past 10 years as well as alumnae from nearby alumnae associations. After conducting the candle lighting ceremony, we split off into breakout rooms (in a mix of active sisters, recent alumnae, and older alumnae) for a Kappa history trivia game. We then split off into a series of several randomized breakout rooms for additional conversations, games, and activities about Kappa’s history.
