Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus
The Kindly Hearts Initiative
The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.
Letters of Love
All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.
Our Chapter's Impact:
The Theta Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta is excited to bring the Kindly Hearts Initiative to the YSU campus community. With more than 400,000 children currently placed in foster care and an estimated 4.2 million youth experiencing homelessness each year, the need for support is real!
Alpha Xi Delta believes that all children deserve love and support, which is why we are proud to share that our new philanthropic focus is supporting children experiencing foster care or homelessness!
Throughout the year, our sisters hold many different events to raise money for our philanthropy. These events include Football FrenXi, our annual flag football tournament in the fall, and Xiti with the Xi's, our annual pasta dinner in the spring. Our sisters are constantly working to raise money to aid and better our community. From restaurant takeovers to sponsored hockey games, there's always another event right around the corner for the community to attend and get involved.
Additional Philanthropic Events
Additional events we coordinate throughout the semester may involve group and individual service project opportunities, donation drives, profit share nights at local restaurants, food fundraising events and more! Follow us on social media to see event announcements and information.
