JMU Chapter Gives a Helping
Hand to the Make-A-Wish Foundation
| In September,
the Iota Delta Chapter of Sigma Nu at James
Madison University launched its annual fundraiser
for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central
and Western Virginia. With help from local
sponsors like Little Italy Pizza, James
McHone Jewelers and Boitnott Visual Communications,
along with the online donations of friends,
family members and Iota Delta alumni, the
chapter was able to raise $2600 towards
the wish of a child in the Central and Western
Virginia area.
Under the leadership and hard work of Ryan
Middleton, Philanthropy Chair, the chapter
set up donation booths across the campus
of James Madison and raised awareness and
funds through outgoing conversations with
students passing by, all while organizing
a five-on-five basketball tournament that
raised funds through |
|
registration fees.The brotherhood, in an effort
to stand out and be seen by all, had T-shirts made
to promote the event across the campus.

The chapter reached its goal of $2500,
and this marks the second consecutive
year that the chapter has been able to
donate at least $2000 to this wonderful
organization. Their gift supports the
hard work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
which raises close to $6000 for each child’s
wish they grant (including board and family
considerations).
Through dedication, hard work and a |
little fun, this chapter has once again put the
ideals of Love, Truth and Honor at the forefront
and worked to support a very worthy cause. In the
spring, the brotherhood plans to participate in
the Walk to the Star in Roanoke, the annual awareness
event of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
