Philanthropy

Aside from active involvement in various campus/community service projects, Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority, Inc is dedicated to enlighten and educate the public about its national philanthropy, cancer awareness. In February of 1999, at the first annual sisterhood retreat, the Founders realized that not only had many of them personally dealt with cancer, but that its effects were continuingly and significantly impacting one another’s lives. In light of this, cancer awareness became Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority’s philanthropic focus.

Every academic year during the month of April, National Cancer Awareness Month, each sorority chapter and colony proudly hosts C.A.R.E. (Cancer Awareness – a Real Effort) Week. C.A.R.E. Week is truly unique yet comprehensive initiative and has been recognized as such by the prestigious Asian Cup Award. It is only one of its kind to dedicate a week of events aimed to increase public awareness about early detection and prevention of cancer by collaborating education with fun-filled, interactive activities. Events that have been held in the past years at Baylor University include: Kick-Off Rally, Lung Cancer Forum, Breast Cancer Forum, Skin Cancer Forum, Candlelight Vigil, C.A.R.E. Fair, Make A Wish Foundation Volunteer Activity, Charity Dinner, Mr. C.A.R.E. Week Pageant.

Each year, any and all proceeds raised from C.A.R.E. Week are donated to a cancer charity. Over the course of the past years Kappa Phi Gamma as raised over $58,000 for cancer awareness! We hope you will join us in the fight against cancer. No deed is too big or too small. Whether you can give monetarily or you can lend a helping hand, there is always someone in need. If you would like to support us in our cause or are interested in further ways to get involved, please feel free to contact us.

-What Cancer Cannot Do-
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.
