Update on D4D!

More than $14,000 has been raised this month through D4D!  This is an exciting total as it means we will not only be able to award scholarships this year, but we will also have funds to be the presenting sponsor of the Delta Phi Epsilon International Convention this summer. 

Thank you to everyone who has given so far.  We have a few more days to make a last big push, so if you can share our info with all your sisters and encourage their participation, it is appreciated.

D4D Launched

The new DIMES for DPhiE Challenge (D4D) has launched!  This fundraising program is designed to ask all our sisters--collegians and alumnae--to make a gift to the foundation and then to encourage others to give.  When you make a gift, you will receive an email with a 'bumper sticker' that you can post on Facebook or Twitter or email to your contacts.  Our hope is that when people see you giving, they will be inspired to give as well.

We have had a really solid start, but we still have a ways to go to reach our ultimate goal of $95,000 this month.  This is certainly a stretch for our foundation--we have never raised that kind of money in just one month.  This level of funding would simply be transformational for both the foundation and our sisters.  Immediately we will use the funds to award scholarships and fund programs at this summer's convention. Remaining funds will be reserved to support next year's District Leadership Conferences and will possibly allow us to increase the amount or number of scholarships awarded. 

These funds make a difference for our sisters by providing them opportunities to learn and build their leadership skills.  And beyond that, such funding will enrich the DPhiE experience to make it on par with what other sororities and leadership development programs may offer.  We need chapters, collegians and alumnae to participate to ensure we meet our goal and keep DPhiE thriving.

If you haven't made your gift to D4D this is your opportunity to make a real difference for our sorority.  There are prizes for individual and chapter participation.  Ultimately it doesn't matter how much you give, just that you give something and encourage others to do so, too.

JOIN IN THE FUN--GIVE TO D4D!
