Running for a Cause

On Sunday, March 28, 2010 Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi, located at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, donated $10,000 to the Dalton Help Foundation. This marked the 4th Annual Running For a Cause event, but the first time that DHF was the recipient of these funds.

The event was held at the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority House, beginning at 4:00 p.m. It included BBQ, supplied by Walt Cockfield's family of Hemingway, SC. Each organization ordered over 100 t-shirts to advertise the event and its accomplishments.

 

The brothers of SAE and sisters of ADPi feel honored to assist in such a worthy cause. There were over 150 members in attendance at the BBQ, which concluded shortly before the Greek Week festivities began.
