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:
Phi Chapter raises money for the Kindly Hearts Initiative to support youth facing foster care and homelessness by our annual amazXIng challenge which is our annual color run. Participants are allowed to run individually or create teams to run a course where through certain points colored dust is thrown on them. Through participant entry fees, tee-shirts, sponsors, and overall donations we are able to donate not only money but our time and love to the Kindly Hearts Initiative each year. We also host and annual bake sale in which proceeds also go to the Kindly Hearts Initiative
Additional Philanthropic Events
Additional events we coordinate throughout the semester may involve group and individual service project opportunities, previously we have done community cleanups, partnering with local restaurants, and have even partnered with a local foster care group Eagle Village to donate handmade bracelets and cards of kind words.
