As a Sorority, alpha Kappa Delta Phi strives to serve our community to the best of our abilities. We have received the Excellence in Service Award four years in a row from the Asian Student Council. Aside from all of our philanthropy work for Breast Cancer Awareness, we have also participated in a number of other community service activities such as:
Each year we strive to increase the number of community service events that we are involved in. It is the belief of all of the sisters at Rutgers University’s alpha Kappa Delta Phi that we reach out a little every day and continue to take the necessary steps in improving the community. (If you are interested in co-hosting or having us participate or attend your service event, please contact our Vice President of Community Service.)
The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research and to advance access to care, with a focus on the medically underserved. From its launch in 1992, Avon’s Global Breast Cancer Crusade has expanded to more than 55 countries and by the end of 2009 had raised and awarded more than $640 million. Grants are made in five areas: breast cancer education and awareness, screening and diagnosis, access to treatment, support services and scientific research. The largest source of funds for the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade is the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
The Avon Walks are non-competitive weekend fundraising walks for all fitness levels. Since the launch of the series in 2003, more than $320 million has been raised through the dedication of over 120,000 participating women and men. The Walks take place in 9 cities, covering 39 miles in two days, and raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.
