On March 24 and 25, the ladies of Phi Sigma Sigma held their bi-annual Rock-A-Thon- rocking nonstop for 25 hours to raise money for the National Kidney Foundation.
Why the rocking chairs? Patients going through dialysis, a treatment for kidney failure, are encouraged to rock in rocking chairs to promote blood flow throughout their bodies.
The National Kidney Foundation was adopted by the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation in 1971, when kidney disease was the number one killer of women.
Rock-A-Thon is one of the many efforts Phi Sigma Sigma participates in in order to raise money for the National Kidney Foundation. Earlier this year, the Gamma Pi chapter participated in the National Kidney Walk, raising almost $3000.
Thank you to everyone that donated during Rock-A-Thon. We appreciate all of your support.
