Community Service and Philanthropy
What is the community service, philanthropy, or cause that your organization most frequently supports? Derby Days- Children's Miracle Network, UC Davis Children's Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Institute, Walk to Feed the Hungry, Sacramento Food Bank and Habitat for Humanity
What program(s) or event(s) does your organization at Sacramento State coordinate to support the community service, philanthropy, or cause mentioned above? Derby Days is a week long philanthropy involving much of the Greek community at Sacramento State in which its purpose is to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network, more specifically the UC Davis Children's Hospital (A member hospital of CMN) and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Events during Derby Days include Coach Dress Up, small musical theater performances at the UCD Children's Hospital performed by Sigma Chi brothers and members of each sorority at Sac State. Further events include donation fundraiser's, hat chase and our culminating event Derby Sing in which 20-50 girls from each sorority and Sigma Chi Brothers compete in a dance competition in front of a thousand people at the historic Crest Theater in Sacramento. Our main focuses are donations and fundraising, participation from Sac State Greek members, as well as community service. It is single handedly the largest philanthropy among the Greek community, raising more money than all other single Greek philanthropy combined. Habitat for Humanity is smaller philanthropy in which we participate. Its main focus is on a donation of community involvement and service rather donations of money. The same basic principle goes for Walk to Feed the Hungry and the Sacramento Food Bank.
