National Philanthropy
Guys,
This year I was Philanthropy Chair for my chapter, and I thought how helpful it would be if we had a national philanthropy. Our chapter does work at a homeless shelter, and has a week in spring devoted to raising money for our local Big Brothers/Big Sisters Org. I think its a good org to fundraise for, but we just raise money, and have no contact with the org. I would really like to see both fundraising and hands on activities.
I'm really close with the ZTA chapter here, and I admire what their Nationals do for breast cancer research. Some of the girls have told me the benefits of having a philanthropy that all chapters share. For us, maybe a cause like leukemia or muscular dystrophy that all chapters could do something with on their local levels.
Basically, I wanted to get some input as to what you all think works best- a national philanthropy or each chapter doing their own thing. Also, how would I propose this to the SEC? Thanks for your input.
A.E.K.D.B,
Percy
