Gamma Pi participates in the DC NKF walk

Some sisters snuggle up to keep warm at Rock - A -Thon last fall.
Rock-A-Thon is another philanthropic event where Gamma Pi donates to the NKF.

The national philanthropy of Phi Sigma Sigma is the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation which donates directly to the National Kidney Foundation. Gamma Pi has always been dedicated to going above and beyond when it comes to raising funds for this cause.

This year the Gamma Pi chapter will be participating in the NKF Walk in DC on October 2nd. If you'd like to make a donation or join our team, please visit http://donate.kidney.org/site/TR?team_id=81361&pg=team&fr_id=2790&et=Kpd-kJk6eZGk1-Y8bxe3Jg..&s_tafId=31842.
