Kappa Delta Chi, Beta Chapter

Popular fundraising events throughout our undergraduate chapters include sports tournaments.

This year, KDChi's Beta Chapter at Texas A&M, held its annual “Kick The Hell Out of Cancer” Kickball Tournament for the 12th time, with great success. Despite the gloomy weather, the ladies filled the fields with energy…and people.

Thanks to Double Dave’s and Domino’s Pizza, everyone had a fun time and a great lunch. Half of the event's proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society and the other half was to be given to the winner's choice of charity. In a wonderful turn of events, the winning team, 3Peat, chose to send their winnings to KDChi’s national philanthropy. Thanks, 3Peat!

KICKING CANCER TO THE CURB

NATIONAL

PHILANTHROPY

KDChi is proud to have The American Cancer Society—an organization that saves lives by helping people stay well and get well by finding cures and fighting back—as its National Philanthropy. With national initiatives such as Penguins for Prevention, Sisters across the nation work hard each semester to raise awareness and funds that will benefit the American Cancer Society.
