UCA Sigma Kappa Raises $6,289 for The Arkansas Children’s Hospital

Posted on by

Our UCA fraternity/sorority members give back to the state of Arkansas in variety of manners, including the support of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH).  ACH’s Committee for the Future recently hosted a six (6) night Phone-A-Thon to help raise funds for the hospitals future expansions and treatments.  These yearly Phone-A-Thons are what help ACH offer such high quality care to children and their families during their times of need.

Part of the Phone-A-Thon includes friendly competitions amongst various community groups to see who can raise the most money.  The Delta Tau chapter of Sigma Kappa at UCA participated in the Phone-A-Thon and was able to raise $6,289 for ACH.  By raising this much money, Sigma Kappa was ranked in the top three (3) teams for raising the most money during the Phone-A-Thon.  Below are the standings from the event:
