ANNUAL
RADIO TELETHON TO BENEFIT CCA
 |
|
The 2009
Children's Cancer Association (CCA) Phone Drive was a big
success, raising $215,000 for the charity. Eight Tri
Deltas from our alumnae chapter participated, answering
phones at 105.1 The Buzz Radio Station on Feb. 5, 2009.
Thanks for your contribution, ladies. |
 PHILANTHROPIC
EFFORTS:
An
important part of our alumnae membership is philanthropy,
with a continuing focus on children's charities. For the past
several years, we've raised monies for the Portland
Children's Cancer Association (CCA). We also host
a holiday toy drive that benefits CCA and a book drive for
the Oregon Burn Center, as well as other special events
throughout the year.
If you are interested in helping our philanthropy committee,
please contact Carrie Christiansen at

OTHER PHILANTHROPY NEWS...
- CHEMO PALS - Be a
Chemo Pal and offer
companionship to children in
treatment. The Chemo Pal
Mentor Program for children and
teens breaks through the
isolation, chaos and loneliness
of chemotherapy and other cancer
treatments by providing trusted,
dependable, and carefully
matched mentors. These
mentors visit hospitals, clinics
and homes to play games, take
walks, read, do art projects or
share hobbies. While this
program focuses on children and
teens, it also gives parents a
much needed respite from the
rigors of the cancer treatments,
and enables them to grab a cup
of coffee, take a walk, nap or
spend time with their other
children. Do you or
someone you know need a Chemo
Pal? Contact Program
Director Stephanie Matson by
e-mail at
