Our Three Beneficiaries
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Reading is Fundamental. Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center.
Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation provides scholarships and financial assistance to Kappas across the country. One year, after the Joplin tornado, one of Theta chapter’s members was provided assistance through the foundation when her home was destroyed.
Reading is Fundamental
Each year, Theta chapter puts on an annual Reading Is Key event in addition to the funding we provide for Reading Is Fundamental. The event is generally held within multiple classrooms at local elementary school where women of the chapter read to the children and help them make a craft. In past years, through book drives, we have been able to collect enough books for each child to take home a new book from the event.
Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center
Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center is a horseback riding facility for those with emotional, physical, or mental disabilities. Theta chapter sponsors each rider and also sends 15 volunteers per week to act as "side walkers" to physically and emotionally support riders. Volunteers also help with maintenance work of the riding center facilities. To help aid this cause we hold our annual Kappa Klassic Golf tournament that takes place over two weekends in September. The first is where we caddy for Fraternities and the second is where we caddy for our fathers. Last year, we raised $44,500! The Kappa Klassic raises more money than any other Greek philanthropy on campus and each year we strive to raise more than the previous year.
