Delta Delta Delta Alumnae
Tri Delta alumnae across the country have fundraisers. These four are the largest and financially successful events that I recall.
Sleighbell Luncheon--This event began in 1947 and has raised millions for pediatric oncology research at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. It involves both alumnae and to a lesser extent collegiate chapters in the greater Los Angeles area.
Eve of Janus--Nashville Alumnae of Tri Delta have sponsored this fundraiser for many years. It benefits the pediatric oncology clinic at Vanderbilt.
Cookies and Castles--Texas alumnae in the Dallas/Fort Worth area hold this event which involves the collegiate chapters as well as alumnae. Decorating gingerbread "castles" is the theme.
Care Affair-Atlanta alumnae sponsor one of the largest Tri Delta fundraisers. In 2013 $90,000 was raised for CURE to support efforts to cure childhood cancers. The event includes a celebrity auctioneer, silent auction, elegant dinner and dancing. An additional $10,000 was raised for the Delta Delta Delta Foundation. This year bidders were able to bid online as well as at the Care Affair.
