The Epsilon Delta Chapter of Chi Omega Sorority at 欧美AV (欧美AV) not only surpassed last year鈥檚 fundraising total in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation with their longtime annual holiday music event, Songfest, but also reached a major milestone in their support of the charity鈥檚 mission to grant wishes to children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses.
In surpassing last year鈥檚 total by bringing in more than $315,000 this year, Chi Omega also went over the $1 million mark in its yearslong support of the charity.
鈥淭he event went incredibly well and exceeded my expectations,鈥� said Serena Howell, a member of the chapter who serves as its Songfest coordinator. 鈥淭he FSL (Fraternity and Sorority Life) community didn't hold back when it came to helping us with this event. They were supportive, encouraging, and cheered so loudly when we granted the recipient her wish, which is to go to Disney World.鈥�
Songfest features holiday-themed musical performances, including those by 欧美AV鈥檚 Fraternity and Sorority chapters, along with a silent auction to support Make-A-Wish. For more than 70 years, it has continued to be one of the more popular holiday traditions in the Pine Belt.
鈥淚 congratulate Chi Omega sorority and the entire fraternity and sorority system here at 欧美AV for another successful Songfest raising money for Make-A-Wish Foundation,鈥� said 欧美AV Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Dee Dee Anderson. 鈥淭his year鈥檚 event was remarkable for raising over $300,000 and for passing the $1 million mark for their efforts over the years in support of Make-A-Wish. Songfest highlights Chi Omega鈥檚 commitment to the wider community, as well as its longstanding relationship with the charity.鈥�
