Nu Chapter Holds Letter Writing Event for St. Jude Children’s Hospital
Berkeley, CA – March 14, 2010 – On March 14th, 2010, members from Berkeley’s Greek community gathered at TKE Nu Chapter to write to friends and family to encourage them to donate to St. Jude’s Children hospital.
Overall, 13 brothers and 10 membership candidates attended from Nu Chapter, as well as a handful of women from Tri-Delta, attended the event. Each person was encouraged to send at least 10 letters, with some brothers sending almost 40, if not more.
“We ended up sending off 424 combined letters,” says Ted Rothenberg, the Philanthropy Chairman for Nu Chapter. “We hope that this will result in many donations to St. Jude’s.”
A raffle was also held at the event, where an entry was earned for each letter sent off. The winner was given an iPod Touch.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is TKE’s national philanthropic partner organization, and is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. It houses some of the most knowledgeable researchers in the world, and uses the most cutting edge technology. It is well known that the hospital will accept any and all patients without regard to ability or inability to pay.
